Depends on the transmission itself. My dad bought a Toyota (The model doesn't get released in the west, I think it's an Asian market-driven model) and the A/T transmission is crap.

In the UK most people take their test in a manual (passing in an automatic means your license only covers you to drive an automatic - restricting your choice of used cars). Generally people will only take their test in an automatic if they really can't cope with a manual. Because people have learnt to drive in a manual they then generally buy, drive and get used to a manual. I think you very quickly find that you don't even think about changing gear because, as you say, it just becomes an automatic activity. The problem comes when you get into an automatic after years of only driving manuals. The left foot won't keep still, and because automatics seem to have oversized brake pedals, the automatic reflex reaction of the clutch foot can result in some pretty harsh breaking when it accidently catches the brake pedal!

I will not deny that Automatic Transmission can sometimes make your life more convenient, especially when driving uphill through a massive traffic congestion. However, manual transmission really requires you to be more alert. To be more calculating of the gear and of driving. You have better connection to your engine also when driving manual. If your gear is wrong, the engine talks back to you. You have a better overall "feel" how your engine is doing. I always say that driving is both reflex and active thinking. I drive a manual car because not only do I have better control of the machine, It also keeps me mentally alert.

keep some distance in uphill eith traffic. i dont ever need to think about speed and gears. cuz if wrong. ill change gears. and i also skip gears. 1. 3. 5 or 2. 4 im that lazy..this only works if you have a good car that can take this kind of abuse. it dosent hurt the trans if done right

As I recall on my way to University on several occasions, I would be driving a manual transmission, eating, studying material for an exam, & listening to an audio lecture via my ipod...all at the same time. It worked for me; generally, I'd call it a terrible idea though...(?) I think overall though, "knowing how to drive" requires knowing how to drive a manual transmission. If you can only drive an automatic, I'd say you are still on your journey toward learning how to drive.

Thanks for a balanced presentation of the options. An aspect which could be overlooked is that the automatic transmission (AT) shifts gear under some load, while with the manual transmission, gear changes are done with the load disconnected. This does burden the clutches of an AT more.

[@davidgrisez]

Since I was born in 1951 I have seen most of the history of both manual transmission and automatic transmissions during my lifetime. When I was young one of the most common manual transmissions was the three speed column shift or a four speed with a shift lever on the floor in compact cars. Also most automatics were 2 or 3 speed automatics. At the present time what few manual transmissions that still exist are mostly 6 speed manuals. Also automatics today can have 6, or 8, or even 10 speeds with lock up torque converters. Since I live in a big city with a lot of stop and go traffic I prefer automatic transmissions.

[@HistoricalWonder720]

That's unfortunate. They should become more technologically advanced and drive automatics. I learned a manual and drove it for 7 years in the States but there's really no point when automatic is easier on the driver and much more efficient with modern transmission technology. The whole "Europe is superior because we drive standard" rhetoric is so backwards its laughable. Comparable to a person riding a horse laughing at someone riding in a steam engine. "Haha you have to do less work because your technology is more advanced, so stupid." I've driven both for a decade. They can both be fun, but acting as if a continent is superior to another on the basis of a vehicles less advances transmission is borderline moronic. Acting as if driving a manual transmission is some difficult skill is absurd. Its quite literally simple to operate a manual transmission. I learned at 13 years old.

Comfort items in cars evolved differently in different markets. The Hydromatic developed in Detroit in the 40s and 50s quickly became common because US cars offered base models with individual options. You could buy the big ticket option of automatic for +$300 and forgo the clock, tach, better upholstery fabric, .... That would nickle and dime easily to $300 (about a thousand by 1980) Air conditioning was the same in the 50s and 60s. Typical European "people's cars" were pretty bare bones and rough in the 50s/60s. Sure a Rolls or Benz were super cars, but a Morris Minor/Mini, Renault, Fiat or VW were tinny, old 30s tech and rattly. If a hydromatic was even offered it was as much as the cost of the car. It made little sense, especially as over half the population on the continent and UK only "drove" a bus or train seat until the 70s. By then habits had settled. I live in the US and have owned manuals since I was 16 in 77. However my Mom learned to drive on a 3 on the tree manual Ford, but by my childhood would never again consider driving a stick shift.

I have a five speed manual transmission and with proper driving and down shifting I still have my original brake pads in good shape after over 160,000 miles on my Toyota Corolla. Manual transmission is a different way of driving from automatic transmission and I have driven with both types of transmissions, but I find that with less braking needed through down shifting that the brakes and the tires last longer. The fuel economy is very good especially on the open roads. With a four cylinder engine, a manual transmission gives the driver that extra power needed for hills by using the proper gear. Manual transmission requires the driver to pay more attention to his driving whereas driving is no effortless with automatic transmission that fatigue sets in on longer drives. I know that eventually within the next ten years or so cars will no longer be sold with manual transmissions as an option.

[@TheFalconerNZ]

l do the same & since l use "Read the Road" (the term the cop that taught me used) l slow down earlier than most since l work out what most drivers are doing & using the gearbox l don't often use the brakes (l can drive on known roads without ever needing to use my brakes from start to parking in my garage, a skill l still practise) I have been yield at by cars pulling up beside me to use my brakes saying they almost hit me as they didn't know l was slowing down. Why? if they were paying attention to the road & driving to the traffic flow they should have noticed me slowing down before almost rear ending me. l also drive a 5 speed Toyota Corolla but with just under 140,000 kms on it (about 83,000 miles) :)

during my time, everyone had to learn the manual transmission, and so I did and drove my mum's car for years, it was only much later that I purchased my first car that was automatic. However, just a year ago my car was drenched in a flash flood, and I had to borrow a car temporarily, it was manual once again, thankfully I still remember how to drive a manual, so it is a benefit that I learned the manual transmission first, whenever my automatic is out I can easily rent a manual for much cheaper prices. Driving schools nowadays provide both manual and automatic options, unlike my time. I don't know if it is a good thing or not, but I do think sometimes it is better to start with something more traditional and then move on to whatever one prefers for daily and personal use.

I think one point we missed here and i think its important. Manual transmission performance is highly dependent on the driver how good his driving his. If you do half clutch frequently while shifting gears etc you will wear out clutch and reduce performance anyways. Its very common thing to know but i see many ppl still do it. Automatic on itslef based on this situation shifts itslef so very less wear on parts. But I'll say just go electric ..

bruh you play too much nfs pro streets thinking that manual is faster than automatic

[@FarhanSaid....]

in modern days auto(and dct paddle shifters) are faster than manual

[@randomrainbow8423]

@@FarhanSaid.... car top speed depends on the engine and not on the transmission. Just saying.

[@FarhanSaid....]

@@randomrainbow8423 so basically you just power shifting (shifting gears without lifting off the throttle) in manual cars to shift faster untill the clutch gets burned 😂😂😂

Manual: you drive the car Automatic: car drives you Manual is more safe, more fun and more healthy for the car ( if you do it right)

[@weird_perspective68]

nothing can beat the feeling of shifting from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd gear.. those smooth transitions is the best feeling

In your opinion, in mine is a primitive crap and very unenjoyable. So is for Americans, Candians and Norwegians, whose poor drive $15.000+ used hybrid automatic cars with amazing and smooth control. Not when you’re working in some crappy Balkan country on 600-700 bucks a month and buy a 400 buck graveyard on wheels that pollute the crap out of the environment. People drive automatic for comfort and enjoyable driving experiences. You’re probably the same individual who got stressed through school and life in general and got a stressful job always doing unenjoyable things, while I enjoy beautiful holidays in various countries, easy jobs, easy to drive cars. There is no point complicating my life for nothing. I have driven plenty of cars from crappy manual Citroen and Dacia to automatic Dodge, Wolfkswagen, Honda, Toyota etc.

[@andreisuciu677]

@@weird_perspective68 Haven’t said that. Look, in ten years time there would only be automatic cars on the road and most of them hybrid or full electric. Automatic is simply better because it is an evolved car, while manual is something primitive and harder to drive and thus it provides a less pleasant driving experience. It belongs to the past. To the 1950s. You’re supposed to have an easy and enjoyable driving experience, not constantly stress out in the traffic and constantly do multitasking. I wouldn’t do constant manual driving not even someone pays me 10k a week. Going to second, third, then second in round abouts, then third again. It’s a load of annoying crap. How can anyone sane enough enjoy this is beyond comprehension. Probably the same people who enjoy doing crappy jobs like coding and being doctors and learning these things for years and years. I make more money on simple jobs than involve no mental stress and complex tasks. I choose to enjoy a better life and avoid stress at all times.

Modern Manual Transmissions are super easy, barely an inconvenience. Oh’ and super fun to drive!

[@OfficialADHG]

Agreed, manual transmissions are tight!

it looks like automatic that change gear by himself

I mean, driving in heavy traffic with a manual car is the easiest way, you just only use the clutch and little to no gas. you won't go faster than 5 km/h in heavy traffic after all.

[@mariovicentekangleon4259]

Yes

[@ytfazefan6765]

yeah but the clutch can slip and get damaged... it also wears the disc too much, automatic is much better for heavy traffic. Still im manual all the way, its just better at everything else.

[@ogstef]

The clutch gets damaged a lot this way.. or at least thats what my driving instructor told me

[@egrikomrade]

@@ogstef If you use it for like mor than 20 seconds, that damages the clutch, yes, but in heavy traffic you only go for 10 or so meters, so that is not bad for the clutch.

[@NithishS99]

@@egrikomrade I mostly put in neutral rather pressing the clutch for so long But hands down auto for heavy traffic For long ride it's always manual
