There is 3 posibilities and what do you prefere
I personaly like only automatical, Its been long since I drove a car but manual is pain in ass, you need work whit legs, arms, its totaly nonsence to me
I prefere only automatical cars, you simply drive, car do all itr self, ok reverse but its easy , no work whit legs 2 pedales, one gass one brake
I know it was stupid think to do but I start even use one leg for gass one for brake, its easy one leg gass one rfake, even its totaly aganst all driving rules, but I dont care since I never willd rive manual car. I did it also when I have forth lift truck practice (it was 3 day job only) one gass, one brake, its much easyer,
So for me only automatic, IMO all manual cars can disapear , we have new loyouts, new HD TV, new PC whatever, why we need keep this old fassion crap manual car ?
Poll
What do you prefere more?

Automatic

03.07.2012 - 00:21 Written by Valentin B on 02.07.2012 at 02:14 I definitely wish I had learned to drive manual first. I love driving and have a great appreciation for it but I think I would appreciate it even more if I learned how to drive manual. In any event, I want to learn still how to drive manual just for the fun of it. But I don't think I would ever buy a manual car (although you never know). I just think automatic is definitely more practical and although it's like a moving couch, it can still be fun even in automatic. I'd like to think I'm becoming even better as a driver. My job involves driving and I generally drive more than the average person (150km a day on average...sometimes less sometimes more). I still do stupid things from time to time but that's a result of me being either very tired or distracted (hot girl/woman in the car next to me or walking across the street for example lol )

None of my co-workers drive to work as we all use public transport (which is insanely cheaper than braving the rush hour here), but some of them are still quite good at the wheel. you have the opportunity to practice though, and that's awesome.

Here it's like f you leanred to drive in an automatic you are never allowed to drive a manual unless you take lessons again and again pass an exam.

03.07.2012 - 11:17 Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 03.07.2012 at 10:12 Same, or similar, here. Auto licence is for auto only. Manual is for both. Most people learn to drive manual, even if they are gonna get an automatic. At least that way they can still drive a manual if they have to.

03.07.2012 - 11:22 Written by M C Vice on 03.07.2012 at 11:17 That''s the way it is here as well. No idea what it is like in most other countries though. But if there are countries where you are allowed to drive manual after only having learned to drive automatic that would be bloody dangerous and might actually explain the appalling driving abilities of a loads of people in lots of countries ahhahaha

04.07.2012 - 02:22 Written by Valentin B on 03.07.2012 at 10:07 Yeah it's a lot and for the most part I love it, but it can get tiring that's for sure. 150km is the average basically...some days it's a lot less (less than 100...even less than 50 km on some days). But some days its more (almost at 200km...some days if Im not busy, I drive around aimlessly and can go over 200km in a day lol). I think some people are naturally good drivers...in part because of their attitude and awareness behind the wheel and just their ability to somewhat know the size of the car (good depth perception etc.).

Manual is definitely the way to go for me, but as Marcel said, Auto is good for being more attentive to the road conditions and less confident drivers.

I haven't driven a manuel in a few years but I loved it when I did. I plan on getting a new car within the next month or so...it'll be a manuel for sure! They're just so much fun to drive and it keeps you engaged.

I have driven an automatic geared car, and I really thought that it was like driving a go-kart. It can be fun, if you're having the right car for it. Still I prefer manual gearing above automatic, as it gives me a more complete sense of driving a car.

Even though I've never tried automatic, I vote for manual because of the following reasons. Firstly, in Europe (or at least this part of Europe) 90% of cars are manual, so its like a standard situation for me. Secondly, as Marcel nicely explained it, there are some advantages to manual - in situations where you need better control of your car or the gas spending. Also, when you learn to drive properly, your brain becomes "automatic" even though your car isn't That is, you don't really pay attention to the gearbox as much as to the road conditions. I wish not to insult anybody, but I must say that its perfectly fine if somebody prefers automatic, but for me, if somebody says that they cant drive manual cars, for me that person is more like a half-driver, than a real driver. Sort of. Whatever

19.09.2012 - 21:31 Written by Bad English on 19.09.2012 at 20:56 I don't know. I'm not a technical expert either, but it seems logical to me that automatic will suffer more, since you pay more attention to what you are doing to the motor and the car when you drive manual. And as you said, its more mechanics than electronics...

Automatic gearboxes has become quite good on european cars the last decade. Don't want an older car with auto transmission though. Too slow and heavy. I prefer manual in sports cars though. And manual is an advantage here, with 4-6 months of snowy/icy roads every year.

I can imagine driving automatic would be easier or something, but driving manual is something I'm much more used to. Plus I suppose you have a bit more control over what the car is doing, because you get to decide the gear. And honestly it's really not hard whatsoever. Once you're even moderately accustomed to the idea it all goes... almost automatically.

Automatic is best, just enjoy driving, specially in winter. Dark 22h per day, you don't see turning and so on, same summer sun is up 22h and shining in a ayes. Automamtic only Manual, you need click pedal, then to 1, start whit one, traffic light, all signal tuning signs, you cant think so fast and re act, I often don't show signals when I am alone on the road, I still get engine stop on then traffic light area when I use gear stick, I hate 1,2,3 and so on, then slow, foot, gass, car scahiking, I hate it. Its way to complicated have manual shit.

Hej, basically, all automated things make the human beings stupider, or at least worse at working with their hands (or feet). I also consider you'd fall asleep more having nothing to think about, except on a motorway you're just at the highest gear and you don't need to break, most of the time... and it's where people fall asleep. Also think about it : nowadays you don't control things, things control you, next step is a full automated car.

I hate, hate, hate standard cars. I derive no pleasure whatsoever from driving, if I never had to drive again, I would be ecstatic. I just want to get from point A to point B. I can't stand the idea that if I screw up a little I could kill myself or, worse, someone else. So, if there is anything that makes driving easier for me, I'm all for it.
