Manual Vs. Automatic (3 Viewers)

[-allen23-]

Which transmission do you prefer? and why?

in my opinion id prefer a manual car as its more challenging and fun...
where as and automatic car is less motivating and more boring.

um if you cant drive i guess

all good drivers should be able to eat a full maccas meal while driving AND changing gears

Nah man your just a shit driver. I went through drivethru today in dads ute (manual of course). Tripple cheeseburger meal easily demolished while driving.
Manual ftw anyway it gets annoying in the city but you live with it.

Cars fitted with a manual transmission last longer, are faster and more economical.

Every advantage in the world.

my car has realllly short gearing and a revvy motor and i dont get sick of changing gear

even when im eating maccas

Manual, because:

- Its easier to maintain a constant speed, esp. downhill
- No need to ride brakes downhill
- Throttle response is FAR better, i.e. there is no micro-delay when you step on the pedal
- Superior reliability. If you don't mind double-clutching, you can make a manual gearbox last forever
- Less maintenance costs
- Cheaper to buy new
- More fun

I just switched from 2 years of exclusively driving a prehistoric manual car to a newer car, and the difference in the way you have to drive is massive.
