Automatic Or Manual

[alocurto]

What type of transmission does you car have? Just curious.

 

[Goosemaster]

Manual is the most accomidating stock transmission.


In traffic however, it is not the most user-friendly:|

I've never driven a manual. People say they're way better, but i'm lazy. Maybe one day i'll get a cheap manual car to practice on before i buy a good one. Then i'll go racing.

 

[Soybomb]

Well the one I drive every day is an auto, but I prefer a manual...

 

[FoBoT]

uh, both

2 cars with auto
1 car with manual

i can't vote

i won't buy another manual though, its too much pain in bad traffic

 

[alocurto]

I drive a manual and don't have too much trouble in traffic. I leave a buffer and roll in 1st. It works well until the people in the lane next to me think that the opening is a way to get out of the traffic quicker.... they are really smart.

Can drive manual, perfer manual when I in the mood to drive, got an auto cause I didn't want to deal with a manual all the time.

manual...

Have any trouble learning manual? Do you cringe when people ask if you can teach them how to drive manual on your car?

I like manual transmissions, but I was commuting 40+ miles each way to NYC every day, and I opted for an automatic.

(And, yes, it was uphill both ways)

 

[Heisenberg]

Both of mine are auto.

If I had a manual, no way would I let anyone near it except maybe my mom (my dad will get lazy and drive it rough).

My previous cars have been:

1989 Hyundai Excel - 5-Speed Manual
1992 Volkswagen Passat - 5 Speed Manual
1995 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 - 4-Speed Automatic
2002 Volkswagen Golf TDI - 5 Speed Manual

I prefer a manual.

I'd like to drive a diesel with a manual. Something seems cool about shifting at like 1500rpm.

No Shiit

 

[notfred]

Which car? The mustang is a 5 speed manual, the others (Focus, Civic, F-series) are all autos.

 

[chin311]

autocraptic, i hate auto's... I WANT A MANUAL AGAIN!!1

 

[Mr N8]

Both automatics right now :
95 Aurora
92 Vic

Had a manual 84 Merc Topaz that I gave to my brother-in-law about 2 years ago.

I guess for a commuter, I prefer auto. For a car to go cruising in, manual.

You don't need a diesel to do that, just a nice big V8 engine.

 

[Kadarin]

Currently I prefer an automatic, but the next time I get a car that I plan to modify/race, it'll be a manual.

 

[Lithium381]

I've got two cars, and so does my mom, two toytas that are manual(our daily drivers) and then two more...ford f250 and a chevy suburban for when we do stuff, camping, hauling stuff, horse trailering, which are both automatic
