5 Amazing Advantages Of Manual Transmission Vehicles You Never Knew by Abaasit4real(m): 9:47pm On Apr 18, 2017 |
Many of us grew up driving manual vehicles because at one time manual transmissions were more widely available than automatic transmission vehicles, which were introduced to the market several decades after the invention of the automobile. Drivers who are used to manual transmission may instinctively gravitate towards manual transmission vehicles because they are more familiar than automatic transmissions. Lately, automatic transmission vehicles have quickly become the norm for those learning to drive. Therefore, fewer people now know how to operate the stick shift for a manual transmission vehicle. Research shows 8 out of 10 drivers prefer the automatic transmissions to the manual transmissions. Are there advantages to knowing how to operate a stick shift, or are the skills required for manual transmission becoming less important over time? Here are the few advantages of manual transmission over automatic transmission. Less expensive to purchase: If you’re car shopping on a budget, then you should consider manual transmission vehicle as it will surely cost less than the automatic transmission of the same model. Cheaper to maintain: With all the added components into the automatic transmission, running it will surely cost a fortune more than its manual transmission counterpart It gives the driver full control over the vehicle: Although manual transmission may seem like extra work, it gives the driver the feeling of being in control of the vehicle. In an automatic transmission vehicle, the torque converter pushes the vehicle forward. This is one of the reasons that make the automatic transmission vehicles’ brake less efficient when compared to manual transmission vehicles. Manual transmission vehicles do not have a torque converter. For this reason, manual transmission drivers are able to use the momentum of the engine to slow the vehicle down and brake more easily. Manual transmissions also reduce fuel usage: Study shows a manual transmission vehicle when placed under the same driving conditions with a similar automatic transmission vehicle can consume 5-15% less fuel. Hence, when a manual transmission vehicle is operated efficiently, the driver will save more money on fuel. More Secured: With the increasing number of automatic transmission vehicles making it to our roads, there’s an entire generation that has never learnt the finer points of manual transmission operation. This means that should a car-thief decide to give your car a closer inspection in preparation for stealing it, there’s a fairly good chance that simply having a manual transmission will be enough to deter the criminal.

Very true. Manual transmission vehicles are more comfortable to drive. You just flow with the ride. You won't even know when you are doing all those clutching and shifting, it just comes subconsciously. 11 Likes |

Manual driven cars should gradually be phased out. Anybody canvassing for its use should go back, buy and continue using those manual controlled television of those days (the tv of the 70s). |

Manual over auto. It's a personal preference and I've seen no reason to sway me. I find autos boring. femi4: With that attitude you'd never find the advantages. I'm yet to see someone who bought a manual because it's cheaper. 5 Likes |
