Title: What do you use, auto or manual?
Post by: Prox on August 29, 2014, 04:26:54 PM
Does anyone here drive a manual transmission car? If not, then what's your excuse for not wanting to experience the maximum driving enjoyment and have full control of your car?

I kinda want to just to experience the technical aspects of it. My parents don't want to because it's more convenient to them to drive automatic. Even though my dad says he did well in his driving test specifically for a manual car.

When my dad was teaching me how to drive, he made me learn how to drive manual before I was allowed to drive automatics. I personally prefer to drive manual transmission cars because I have more control, I can downshift, I can slow down with slight to no detection (mainly for cops), and just keeps my mind occupied.

Vast majority people in America drive automatics so I expected it to also be represented in this community since most people here are from the US.

Then I guess its just USA where majority of people drive automatics and I was asking if people drive manuals instead of do they know how to drive manuals.

Manual master race. All of my personal cars have been manual, easier and cheaper to fix, gets better gas mileage than auto, less problems than autos, no electronic assisted any bs.

Not really, any new car will be cheaper if it's in manual (as in true stick shift, not paddle shift) than opposed to auto. A large portion of them outlive auto transmissions/car life and are a lot cheaper to fix and maintain transmission wise. If you change your gear oil as recommended, the only thing you really gotta worry about is the clutch, if you know how to drive proper and not peel out at every stoplight, you normally gotta change the clutch every 100k+ miles. (thankfully for my truck a new clutch only costs $60)

The only thing that's cool about autos today is that they finally caught up with torque converter lock technology and get same gas mileage as a manual.

Wuuuuuuuuut. For that price I'm assuming her car is FWD. They musta had to like, pull out the whole engine or something. For $1300 I can see that being for most FWD cars, since you basically gotta pull out the whole transmission and sometimes the engine. Did your bro properly learn it after that?
