There are some cars that have both manual and automatic transmission. The technology is called tiptronic transmission or semi automatics. Cc- Autojosh, lalasticlala |

besides why does auto have D2 D3. it's because they know that sometimes you need max power from those gears before u change to a higher gear. and that's exactly where manual beats auto 1 Like |

2bam: Manual drive all the time, especially in our 3rd world environment when you may need to push start because of failed battery or kick starter. Only this Saturday, I escaped crashing into a broken down parked trailer on high speed along the Kaduna Kano express way by using my manual gears together with the braking system to stop just inches away from the parked truck - couldn't have achieved same with an automatic transmission vehicle. Yes I will eventually have to buy an automatic vehicle in the future, as one runs out of options; meanwhile I intend to continue enjoying my manuals while I still can. 3 Likes |

These things OP posted may have been true 20 years ago. Not any more. And if you are driving around with a dead battery... you should definitely stick with a manual transmission or walk ![]() ![]() ![]() 1 Like |

Ajanacool: Nobody hates manual cars, we just prefer automatics. Unless u are racing in a circuit I see no genuine reason for manual cars. And 99% of people on this forum don't race. I buy a car to ease my movement providing luxury and performance... Not to race on a track. Most of the supercars made three days don't even come with manual anymore, they are all automatic. And show me a luxury car with manual transmission. I drive both manual and auto, but I prefer auto. I cannot come and go and be stressing myself because I want to drive from one point to another, I rather use that energy for something else. 3 Likes |

ItsMeAboki: Whatever makes u guys think automatic cars don't have engine braking? It is equally as effective as manual. Or what do u think is the function of the d1, d2 and d3 in automatic cars ? |

I believed many people here commenting learnt driving with autos within one week and they were already on the road. Let them point to me any Country through Europe where you'll see auto car as much as Manual, Germany inclusive. We are just after everything happening in America, that all. I have drive over 50km without changing my manual gear. |

princefunmmy:My main problem is the braking Ive been using a manual car since i stsrted driving and i feel in control especially when braking since i use the clutch to control the way i brake and i can get nice accuracy when braking But i always worry that braking in automatic is actually a bit harder to control, especially in situations where u have to move small distances (say u want to park well in a tight parking lot Is this concern based on fact or is it not true? |

greenhulk: The article clearly stated this reason for the difference: 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. 1 Like |

Team manual over automatics, i love being in control of my cAR though. I hate automatics with a passion. The last time I drove an automatic I was looking for a clutch pedal. Besides you can drive a manual car like an automatic, only the true manual drivers known how to do this. |

ItsMeAboki: U have to shift down to use engine braking to slow vehicle down. The same thing is possible with automatics, all u have to do is shift down. |
