Something to bare in mind is that in the UK (and through most of Europe I think) you can only drive a manual car if you passed your driving test in one. If you pass your driving test in an automatic vehicle you are limited to automatics which is an important consideration since that would mean you couldn't then drive 80% of the cars on the market. This is changing slowly with the adoption of EV's since they don't need gears in the same way as cars with internal combustion engines.
If u pass your driving test with a manual car in the UK your able to drive both. However if u pass using an automatic then your limited to only driving them instead.
It's the same in Germany. You can do the regular driving test or just an automatic test.
I drive manual and wouldn't want it any other way. In Belgium automatic mainly seems to be for old people with arthritis.
In the Netherlands, we have two types of driver's licenses: one for manual and one for automatic transmissions. The automatic license is mostly for people who can't master manual transmission and for disabled people.
Edit: Someone with a manual license can drive an automatic transmission car, but not vice versa. Those with an automatic license are not permitted to drive manual transmission cars.
If someone only wants to drive electric cars why the hell they need manual for, your explaination is bs.
Not true. You can just drive manual and automatic at all times. I’m a living example.
It's the truth , I had to redo my driving exame for manual.
"...people who can't master manual transmission and for disabled people. " LOL! True..... I think it's also more fun to drive manual. :)
We pay 8,50 euros per gallon today (the Netherlands).. its going great 😅.
May I ask what you pay for electricity in the nighthours??
- We pay less than half after midnight, and its flat out free when its very windy.
That mean that recharging your e-cars can turn out to be very very cheap if youre strategic.
I kinda hope we should pay 8.5€ pr liter. Would be a really good incentive to move away from fossil fuel.
@@martinwinther6013 depending on the contract its usually about 30% less expensive in the night hours. Overhere those electric cars are expensive, also our electrical grid is overfull, it can't handle all these energy slurping cars.
Driving Electrical is not environment friendly at all.
Maybe hydration cars is the solution.
@@jasper46985 Hence the wind.. Need windmills. Lots of them.
Around here 100 % of all electricity used by privates comes from renewable sources, and apx 65 % of all industrial electricity comes from renewable sources.
Apx 80 % of all power used in dk across all sectors comes from green energy.
e-cars are good.
@@martinwinther6013 the production of windmills is more destructive than any kind of benefit. plus they are basically just meat grinders, killing countless of birds, bats, insects etc.
the production of electric cars is also horrendous for the environment.
In addition to direct current and alternating current, there is now also wobbling current with those wind turbines. 👌🏻

He is Belgium so British pronunciation, which we learned at school.
Some people in Denmark drive with automatic transmission. I drive both automatic and stickshift.
When you are used to a manual you really do not think at all about shifting gears but just shift without thinking. For me it really does not matter if I use an automatic or manual its the same. But for people not driving that much and who are used to automatic I understand its initially easier with automatic. With electric cars shifting will not be needed at all in the future. there is really no need to have either an automatic or manual. You just give the electric engine more or less electricity with the gas pedal and there is no need for any gears.
Manual is just way more fun to drive. You've got more control over your car in every aspect.
You clearly never drove double clutch automatic sportscars.
@@EGO0808 Yeah why should I?
Manual transmission is the best!!!
Automatic is like driving bumper cars, no brains necessary!! 🤣
4lt./1gallon of gas costs $8.75
(June 6, 2024)
hello from Denmark 🌸
I like stick, because it gives you much more control.
But electric cars don't have manual helaas :(
@@daphneschuring5810nor automatic either
I only like driving manually, tbh, I dont feel save in an automatic... it's like it's thinking for itself :)
Best safety against getting your car stolen in USA is to drive stick shift :'))))
I drive auto because I have a difficult time discerning when to switch gears by sound.
Automatic cars are usually driven by seniors who have a handicap, healthy people do not drive in these, except if it is an electric car.
In Europe if you take your driving test with an Autamatic car, it will be printed as a restriction on your driver's licence. So almost all poeople learn to drive in a Manual car to NOT have those restrictions later.
I love driving a stick shift! I would miss it when it wasn't there. It makes driving fun.... LJ
EV doesn't even have transmission but direct electric engines on the wheels, so I bet as we get more of those we'll slowly see the gear shifting dissappear all together.
Last summer we took a 30 foot camper from Colorado to California. Being a European I imagined this would be easy since it'd be an automatic transmission. That is... until I hit the Rocky mountains. I'm used to lowering gears when I'm driving down slopes. This being a much larger vehicle than what I'm used to drive in every day life AND the fact that no one at El Monte rv rentals bothered to explain to me there were ways to shift gears manually on this thing made for a very interesting drive 😂. In the end I figured stuff out myself and we had an epic vacation.
Over here in The Netherlands driving an 'automaat' seems to get more and more popular. As per January 1st, 2023 almost 28% of the total car park were automatic cars which was an increase of 7% in comparison to 2022. I drive an automatic car because of the comfort. Overall I drive short distances to more rural areas where traffic is pretty crowded. Operating the stick in that situation very quickly gets annoying.
1 gallon (US) is 3.785 liters, so it's not quite 4 liters. The difference adds up when you want to calculate/convert larger volumes, how much gasoline you burn in a year for example.
automatic vs manual gear? manual, because we can
You do also have to factor in that a litre, gallon and even a pint are different volumes of measurement in the States and such. The Imperial and Metric thing.
I drive manual but ones I did drive a manual. It’s terrible a lot more difficult to park. I use the clutch a lot and without it, it feels like missing a finger.
Ik heb een schakel, maar rij ook van in een automaat, en mijn voorkeur gaat nog altijd uit naar de stickshift.
i have always been used to that automatic was for taxis and disabled people.
I learned to drive manual. But I moved to a LH driving country. Unfortunately the shifters are the same for the RH cars meaning the 1st gear is away from you. I couldn't get used to it initially therefore I bought an automatic car .
it is becoming increasingly common with automatic transmission Europe or as a semi-automatic transmission
In the UK there is a separate Automatic Car driving test.
If you pass the test in an automatic, you cannot drive a manual car.
If you pass the standard, manual car test you can drive either.
On British roads, manual makes much more sense due to the unpredictable weather, from blizzards to heat waves, and the terrible state of some roads.
Most British manual cars now have five or six speed boxes, making it very economical to cruise on clear roads at 70mph doing 50 or more miles per Imperial gallon.
Auto cars use 30% more fuel on average than manual when driven in Britain, that is why automatics tend to be luxury cars, whose owners can afford the fuel costs.
Electric cars have no gearbox so don't change gear! The torque is produced evenly throughout the rev range and my MG 4 is insanely fast. It is also extremely easy to drive: I didn't suffer from 'clutch knee' after driving to Manchester from Gloucester, through the slow traffic at Stoke. Superfast charging at Chester services was 12 minutes and cost £23.56.
I love driving manual transmission.
My lovely 23 year old Vauxhall Corsa is my favourite car I've ever had.😊
After watching quite a lot of crash clipsover the years here on UA-cam, I can't help but wonder if not a lot of these freak accidents are due to automatic transmissions.
You know the ones where someone is about to park and when they are to stop instead go full speed right into the wall, or where someone backs out of their driveway and suddenly takes off at 50 mph straight across the street and crash into the neighbor's car.
The gas pedal instead of the brake 🤔
0:26 my perspection on automatics is.. They are for the elderly, deaf ( got some deafs in family, and it is easier for a deaf to drive automatic ) and handicapped folks.
I like automatic. In Dallas traffic, it's one less thing to worry about and I can concentrate on what the idiots around me are doing!!
Yeah Charlie we pronounce Celica different than the English or those who learned British English. It's ok...
In 2022 85% of newly registered cars in Sweden were automatic, the extra gas consumption is pretty much a moot point in modern cars but 20 years ago they were horribly inefficient. People are even starting to take their licence with automatics. From 12% in 2016 to 31% in 2021. And in Sweden automatic licences are not valid for manual cars, which should be obvious everywhere.
Its true.. But its changing, kinda fast even.
I dunno… I’ve always driven manuals. Had an auto once, got so bored I craved to go back. But it doesn’t seem hard to do, I don’t conciously think about shifting gears or balancing the clutch. It’s just a fidget stick, really.
It used to be that autos cost you performance. Not all power reached the wheels because the link was never fixed, which also made for understeer on corner entry. That was long ago.
In Italy until the end of 2009, around 86% of new cars had manual transmission. Then started to be available different kind of transmissions, like the automated manual transmission (robotic gearbox), and CVT for hybrid cars. So, due in particular to the spread of hybrid cars, in 2017 76% of new car had manual transimission, in 2018 73%, in 2020 55% and finally in 2023 only 32% of new cars had manual transmission. So now also subcompact cheap cars have automatic transimssion, and the trend will increase for sure
in the netherlands all driving lessons are with an official instuctor.
learning from parents or someone else who is not an officicial instuctor is not allowed.
in the netherlands almost everybody learns to drive a manual.
if you learn to drive an automatic, you get a note on your drivers licence that you are not alowed to drive a maual.
this video talls about the reason usa citisens prefer heavy trucks and suv's.
simply it has to do with higher profit margins for automotor manufacturers.
ua-cam.com/video/jN7mSXMruEo/v-deo.htmlsi=Q9EZKfWSZfQUezSM
and this video talks about the reason why small pickups are hard to find in the usa.
it has to do with legislation.

I drive a manual, because it's cheaper to buy and cheaper to operate. I've driven automatics when I visited the U.S., and to me, it did not improve the driving experience. While generally, I like everything the car does automatically (I am an avid speed control user), switching gears does not happen very often on long distances anyway.
Stickshifts are lighter in weight , automatics are heavier so more expencieve in road tax , and insurance.
In europe all are driving automatic cars. With electric there is no option to shift.
Until the 90's automatics where only used by the elderly and the disabled here in Europa.
Manual. I'm on my 4th car, all have been manual. I have driven automatics, it doesn't add anything for me. I guess the good automatics are fun because you can manipulate the shifting by playing with the gas pedal. Staying in gear longer when revving, upshifting by briefly lifting off, and kicking down when stepping on it. But not all automatics do that. I prefer manual.
My work vehicle (netherlands) is manual, my personal car is automatic, i hate manual tbh.. its just extra work
I have both.
All my cars i had where manual until now. We now have an electric car and a smaller 1.2 liter smaller car with manual.
It's what you are saying, when there are coming more electric cars it will shift to the automatic side. Nevertheless, Toyota is busy with the hydrogen engine and that could be a manual variant.
Btw driving electric is so easy in the mountains always torque enough and always silent so you can enjoy your music in full quality without turning up the volume.
I think in Sweden now its 50 50 ńow, I have had automatish for 30 years but manual also😅
I have a automatic car a kia sportage love it
06:27 1US.gallon ion Europa petrol 98 octan = 7,87 USD.
Never driven an automatic, but can’t help wondering if it’s a pretty dull and soulless experience.
A NEW CAR WITH AUTO IS MORE EXPENSIVE IN GAS TO LOVE FROM DENMARK
"transmissionologist" .. you got me there...
let's see. ;)
Oh yes.. EVs and One Pedal Driving with recuperation will be the next best thing, in between and beyond stick shift or automatic driving. ;)
I actually am a trained “transmissionologyst” and I have to ask why you thought gas (fuel) had anything to do with the gear box?
Actually the car makers are now preparing to make electric cars with gearshift instead of the fully drive as clients that by the cars miss the Control and gear shifting
What a stupid idea! "let's take a simple electric drive train, and make it more complicated, expensive and unreliable, just to satisfy the nostalgia of a few people from a time when we couldn't make a cost-effective, functional automatic transmission".
MANUAL... All day long a manual gearbox
In Holland gas is 2 fing euro for 1 liter.
Yeah depression usually hits me hard at the gasstation here in NL
Of my 20 cars just 1isautomatic
You must be understand in 1995 when I make driving license test / exam are her Estonia only 15 % automatic gearbox cars + if You make automatic gearbox car test then no allowed drive manual gearbox car. Yes now is 2024 and new dealership cars selling are 75 % automatic passanger cars and commercial / work cars are only 33 % automatic. Yes I never been drive autotmaticgearbox then 02:27 "easier" for You . I drive last 29 year only manual gearbox catrs ( 600.000 km ) .
Driving an automatic is easier than manual... I've never quite gotten this line of thinking. If you've grown up driving manual it's just as easy. You don't really think about it. It just second nature.
If you drive an automatic, you can hardly get away if there is a lot of snow, if your car does not want to start you cannot tow it and ensure that it starts in 1st or 2nd gear. and lastly for me personally, trucks are equipped with an automatic transmission here as standard, so after work I'm happy that I can shift gears again and drive home through the winding roads... and of course in the morning.
for people who cannot keep up with things such as shifting gears, paying attention to the road, turning their heads and in the meantime also shifting gears at an intersection.... yes, they are better off driving an automatic, I also think it is a seniors gearbox, only those Duracell cars have an automatic transmission as standard, but a real driver opts for manual transmission
how you pronounce seleca depends on if your american or brits LOL
i drive automatic, i dislike manual.
hahhaa
automatic transmissions beter then a human that can stick shift DSG from VolksWagen and the PDK from porsche , best automatic transmissions in the world
I don't know how to drive an automatic car, I never had one, it is unsafe, and Why drive one??? It is no fun..
The majority of cars being sold are automatic these days. It’s only a small minority of wanna be cool wanna be racing drivers, that swear manual is the way to go.
Electric cars 😂😂 bah humbug 😂😂. Posh dodgems 😂😂😂.
Automatic transmission is boring.
It's not only boring, it's dangerous and fuel consuming.
I don't want a car to chose the gear in any stupid way.
I know what gear I need. Not a stupid automatique bot.
I will drive manual as lo g as I can. I do not like driving automatic. For me it is not realy driving. And e lectric? Terrible for the environment ( to build one)
automatic transmission for women and non-going riders, the rest calls a manual transmission
Automatic transmission cars are for disabled people who only have the use of 1 leg.
Driving automatic is boring.
The figures in this presentation are a little exaggerated.
nop ; no more true !!!!
Beter modren car's are alle intergraded stik or automatic !!!!
If this about a Belgium guy why is he brown?
So you think Belgium only has white/caucasian people living in it?
We have brown people too in Belgium. Lots of them actually.
Playing arabian music while speaking about Europe....... Oh man
Automatic rulez. It's the best for german traffic.
I can drive manual but i hate it. I'm 3 times faster at intersections than manual drivers. My city has many hills and i don't have any problems. German Autobahn is often jammed and i don't have to shift every 30 seconds... manual is just stupid except on a racetrack
If you COULD drive manual you wouldn't hate it 😂
@@whitecompany18 i still can. Have to drive a manual at work...
Driving a manual transmission requires a certain level of intelligence. Americans drive automatic transmissions. You don't need to know more about Americans, because 80% of them drive automatic transmissions.
Such a comment clearly is missing certain intelligence.
It's because in America you can get a driver's license on 16 years old that's why you guys drive automatic
