prundler
Car with automatic transmission. Also the selector in such a car
A car can be a prundler even though it might not have the traditional automatic transmission with torque converter. Any DSG, CVT, Hybrid that has a fully automatic mode for changing gear is a prundler.
Any car (usually electric) with fixed-ratio transmission is also a prundler.
To not be a prundler a car would need at least two forward gear ratios that can only be selected manually.
