Having a manual 240, an automatic F350 and a DCT M4.... I feel like i can say manuals are my preferred way. End all be all manuals are more fun and takes way more skill. DCT is way quicker. And automatic is just easier.

[@KennDoid11]

Ive got the paddle shifters in my car and I thought it was cool for like, 2 weeks. Should have bought the manual!

[@MBay3131]

Can you explain why? I drive a stick shift manual car but never driven a paddle shift car before. I always thought that paddle shifters looks cool.

[@KennDoid11]

Sure they look cool but feel gimmicky at the end of the day. Certainly nothing to write home about in my opinion.

[@christopherlowery855]

​@@KennDoid11Depends on the car. For a regular production vehicle, yeah, paddles are a gimmick. For exotics, they're pretty much mandatory if the car has been built in the last 15yrs or so. 150mph or higher is about the speed where manuals start to become impractical on the track. Any slower than that, nothing beats a manual. Drag racing might be an exception, but then, get a hurst shifter. You'll thank yourself later. Nobody likes a money shift. Cheers.

[@Valid.4l]

Manual = fun Automatic = better all round Dual clutch = performance

[@christopherlowery855]

Only 2 reasons to choose automatic. 1: Stop-go traffic. This is a nightmare even in an automatic. If at all possible, avoid at all costs. Seriously. Move if you have to. If you're a car enthusiast, a manual is so worth it, but certain conditions make is completely impractical. 2: The need to drive in excess of 150mph. At these speeds, every split second counts. Both hands must be on the wheel at all times. Especially when tracking at these speeds. (As opposed to a straight line street race) Given the needed reaction time, it's best to let the transmission do its thing. So long as you can control the gear changes from paddle shifters, you're set with an automatic. For all other situations, manual or bust. Cheers.

[@JMVQ37]

Reason 3: I want to

[@tinasheroy]

Reason 4: Fuel efficiency Reason 5: Smoother gear shifts increasing reliability Reason 6: Safety as you concentrate more on steering than anything else

[@christopherlowery855]

@@tinasheroy I guess you've never ridden in a vehicle with an automatic transmission that shifts hard due to the owner failing to change the AT fluid. Or ridden in a vehicle that won't shift above something like 3rd gear. Or one that's stuck in reverse. All of these my family has had personally happen to them. I've been driving vehicles with manual transmissions for 25yrs. All the vehicles I've owned have had manual transmissions and all of them have been more than 10yrs old during ownership, most with well over 200k mi. The most transmission issues I've ever had was bad syncronizers due to the wrong oil being used in the transmission. When proper gear oil is used, these can operate for 10yrs or more, maintenance-free. (Including clutch replacement). (Clutch slave cylinder is another story) The clutch wear really depends on the driver. Most of my clutches have been replaced at 200k mi or more. An MT is traditionally more fuel effecient than an AT. I haven't crunched the numbers in a long time, but this was true in the late 90s, early 2000s. ATs just have a lot more moving parts and put a larger strain on the engine. They rely on hydraulic pressure which requires horsepower leaching to generate. Since 8 and 10spd ATs though, this may no longer be the case due to better gearing. A lot of vehicles still use 5 and 4spd ATs though. Making higher gear count atvantages nullified. Therefore, the Jeep Gladiator 8spd automatic transmission will out-perform the 6spd manual due to the gearing atvantages. Apples for apples though, (same gearing ratios, and gear counts) the MT will outperform the AT for most tasks. Safety. While it might seem logical that an AT is safer than an MT, due to hands being taken off the wheel, practical application tells a very different story. Distracted driving is almost exclusive to automatic drivers. Activities like eating, watching videos, reading, texting, talking on the phone, and doing makeup while driving, are all automatic driver activities. The most I can manage is drinking a coffee while driving. Driving a manual is a kin to using a fidget spinner while driving. Everyone driving an MT would quell the plague of distracted drivers. It would save hundreds of lives and prevent thousands of accidents. If anything, its 100x safer than an AT because of this reason alone. As I stated, unless you're traveling at excessive speed, the time it takes to shift gears is negligable. It takes more time to change the radio station. Likewise, in new cars, changing cabin temperature settings is much more unsafe than any type of gear shifting. The shifts are made by feel, not sight. You never take your eyes off the road and the shift takes maybe a second to execute, if being casual about it. Another situation where driving an automatic is needed, or better than driving a manual, is physical limitations. An example is missing an arm or leg. In those cases, driving an automatic is far preferable. However, those who have these limitations, and still drive a manual transmission will receive god-tier respect from the car community. Its like that 5yr old who drives supercars. Mad respect there. I hope this helps to dispell some of the "I like it so its better" feelings out there. There are legitimate advantages and disadvantages. I just so happen to be under the impression that the juice is worth far more than the squeeze. Cheers.

[@tinasheroy]

@@christopherlowery855 I've driven both Auto and manual transmissions for 30 years. Even without checking the facts I can tell you auto transmission fluid is needs changing less regularly than manual fluid, or that autos are statistically involved in less accidents or that autos are more efficient. A simple google would show pretty much all sources saying what I'm saying.

Manual = for drivers who like to drive Automatic = for drivers who don't like to drive Or Manual = the only or the cheaper option on a cheap new car Automatic = The only option available on a new performance car *Today less than 1 percent of new performance orientated cars offer a manual so unless you're looking at a sports car built before 2020, the options are slim to none.

[@ethanacton408]

The one thing I love about some manual drivers Is their obsession with driving manual. The automatic version of many enthusiast cars are cheaper because of this and since I don't care, it's a great deal for me

[@christopherlowery855]

Arguably it's because you don't love driving. Just the cars. You'll know because a 30min drive or more will be a chore and you'd prefer to be driven around town, rather than drive around town. Otherwise, I would claim you just don't know what you're missing. Cheers

If you’re going manual stick with brands like Honda, Mazda or Porsche. Most people I know who brought manuals end up frying the clutch of their new car within a few months. Or they hate the rubbery feel of the shifter and clutch engagement.

While having my 2020 LE Toyota Yaris Sedan with a "manual option" automatic is acceptable for city/highway daily driving is boring, yet efficient... I am about to purchase another 2020 Yaris Sedan, but in the basic "L trim" (because a 6-speed manual) to convert for some local SCCA meets. This will include a 0.20 block bore, 35mm Turbo, Fender Flares, wider tires, and an adjustable suspension!

I am pretty sure that any car with acc and a manual transmission is just as efficient as any automatic on the highway. The thing is, there aren't too many manual cars out their that I know of that have acc and a manual transmission.

@ItsJustCams It's possible, but for the time, money, and inevitable headache that will come with doing the swap, I could just trade it in and get a manual car with less miles...hence defeating the purpose of doing the swap all together.

[@ItsJustCams]

@@captaindavidjones844 You're right. I'll never say "do a swap" when there's a desired drivetrain out there that you could simply trade to. Only way I'd say to do a swap is IF that's something you REALLY wanted to do. Like if you had a donor car, wanted to beef up or flex the fabricator/mechanical skills, or you're like me and really want to know what it looks like under there. lol

I will buy a car with an automatic the day they have a clutch pedal. Manually rev matching and working on perfecting toe-heeling is (more than) half the fun of driving. Automatics are objectively “better” in almost all ways unless you’re not a professional racing driver.

It depends on how much you spend and preferred maker in my mind. More expensive cars with auto or dct don’t have as much lag and are often faster then their counterparts. A cheap slow car is lame in auto, in manual you feel faster and smarter. On the flip, if I had a manual 2014 explorer I think it would have sucked. Some companies nail the manual mechanical feel, all others should go dct, any way its opinion and preference, thanks for the content.

[@christopherlowery855]

I can agree with most of this, minus the explorer part. I drive a 95 Nissan hardbody 4x4 that's a 5spd. My first vehicle was an 87 hardbody 2wd 5spd. I've never had so much fun on 4 wheels. I've always wanted a pathfinder from the same era. My uncle had a blast with just a geo tracker 5spd. Point is, you can still have loads of fun in a small SUV that is a manual. Helps to be young though... Dry mud ruts, riverbeds, gravel roads, lots of places for youth to get themselves into trouble. New explorers though... Overcomplicated. Cheers

I guess you guys have never driven a vehicle with paddle shifters. If you have such little going on in your lives that you dedicate it to being some gatekeeper weirdo I can’t help you.

@@ThatGuyJer You’re the only one mad about it, we aren’t gate keeping anything in this reply section and paddle shifters don’t mean anything having driven a few it’s no different than using the Triptronic in other autos and it’s the same, delayed and generally slow to respond compared to a regular manual (varies between cars). it doesn’t matter what transmission you drive but if you care about properly driving a car you have to know how to drive a manual car.

Donut reference? The only reason to swap an auto to manual is if the overall car has been well taken care of. Especially for 20+ yr old cars. Most old manuals have been clapped out with high miles. Other cars are very rare to find a manual variety. Occasionally the swap is worth it, but the process is very impractical for most. I almost manual-swapped an EG Civic EX 2dr once. Never got around to it though. That one is pretty easy honestly. Cheers.
