Your doing one less step with the vehicle but you're putting that energy into the road. More gears the car can go through ect.
This is incorrect. You will get shit on constantly for owning an automatic. Whether we like it or not, we exist in a society. Ideally, you'd be right though.
In a drag race my money is on the automatic 99% of the time. I hate when someone makes that excuse “I missed a shift” Not my fault you can’t drive your car pay me.

I’m 42 years old and my first driving lesson was on a stick shift vehicle that my father had when I was 13. I think it’s one the best experience I got in my life plus it is easy for you to drive automatic transmission once you learn stick. I currently own a stick shift but I also have an automatic vehicle. I’m old school so I’d say stick shift for life.
I had a automatic as a first car of course then I swapped over to manual and never looked back since!! Autos are great 👍🏾 no hate ! But a manual is just a preferred preference for me 🕹
The only bad part about Manuals (that I know of) is the manual tax. I'd love one too (again, preference.

I’ve only owned manuals for the last 7 years I don’t plan on getting an automatic. Also when your building a car it’s harder build up an auto to withstand extra hp. Additionally manuals are much better on maintenance and you feel one with the car. It makes the driving experience more fun.
I find it funny that autos get a lot of hate in the car community, however theres so many modifications out there with the purpose of making a manual function more like an auto. I mean a sequential gearbox is basically like paddle shifters. I live in NYC and drive through manhattan a lot. I only have 1 car, so I got mine in auto. Paddle shifters and a TCU tune to let me hit rev limit and stop the car from auto upshifting are the best of both worlds for me. I'm happy with it, and that's what matters. Be happy with your transmission choice!
I hate that the manual transmission is about to be extinct. I think, if anything, manufacturers should at least have the option to special order a manual.
Yeah it really depends on the car/company some brands are trying to reinvigorate it like the upcoming 400Z is gonna be standard 6 speed manual and other countries often don’t have auto as standard
it all comes down to money... car enthusiasts say they love manual transmissions but vehicle sales show that way more people buy automatics than manuals, to the point where a lot of the time its not even profitable to produce a manual transmission model. of course they can put a special order option for manual trans but imagine the cost of RND for a whole transmission set just for special order , its just not financially plausible. unless more people buy brand new manual cars, car companies will inevitably stop producing them :(

Unless I’m tracking times, I’d choose to be in control of my gears and drive a manual any day! Makes driving so much more enjoyable. Definitely don’t need to save 1 second to get to the stop light.
I have both and each have there place. I like when someone in stick shift car runs there mouth before the race. Saying how fast they can shift and they can launch at high rpm’s but I can’t. Then we line up and I launch at 4000 rpm and drag that A$$. Good times!
It's pretty easy to drive a manual at speed. It's much harder to pull off low speed parking lot maneuvers and cold starts on hills (especially icy or wet hills).
Depends on who’s driving. Maybe someone who’s been driving manuals all their life will have fun BUT may not be fun for someone who just wants to go fast out the box.
@@hasangarcia7091 It was intended as satire.. of course you can drive only with the knowledge of auto.. 😒 there won't be any manual cars left within 15/20 years! 😅
Autos are generally faster, and more efficient now, that part is undeniable. But there is something with just throwing gears that I have never found with the autos. A nice dual clutch or single is amazing to drive, and tons of fun, but its that missing little factor of something that isn't describable.
I get way better city with a manual. Just put her in neutral and coast to the light, my junkbox was rated for 24 city 33 highway. I managed a combined 36 mpg 2 individual times before I went back down to 24 because I was bored of driving like some soccer mom. Faster if we are talking any dual clutch, PDK, or 2015 and newer single clutch auto I agree. No hate, just saying.
I prefer manuals strictly for the enjoyment of banging through the gears. But automatics are cool too cuz you can practice left foot braking more easily.
There is no argument here. If u wanna drag race u'll need an automatic dual clutch. If u know how to drive and enjoy your car u'll always go for a stick.
If everyone drove a manual in America, like they do in Europe, there would probably be less distracted driving because you need to actually pay attention, you would have more polite drivers because everyone would want more space in front and behind them when going high speeds, etc.
I owned a G35 coupe 03 in auto fit my first car it was fun to drive especially as a first car but I always wanted a manual grew up having car enthusiasts uncles and cousins watched intital d as a kid loved the show and later when I got my first manual i realized how much of a better driver I became that’s why a manual will always be superior it does change the while driving experience for the better an auto can never do that
I drive both a manual and an automatic. I use the automatic for work as a delivery driver for less stress and the manual to have some fun driving. best of both worlds.
Im just a die hard manual guy, I don't know automatic it looks intimidatingly difficult and confusing to comprehend. 🤣 but no really manual is my choice.
Learned to drive on an 1985 Ford Del Rey manual back in Brazil and still can't see myself driving an automatic in the UK. I just prefer the level of control that a manual transmission gives no matter the weather and road conditions.
Theres a big difference between Manual, Automatic and DSG/PDK/DCG however you wanna call it, they are the best of both worlds. Fun factor as you still have full control and fun as heck, and relaxed af in auto mode.
What's up from Quebec in Montreal guy's. I'm definitely bugging you guys again to please do a video on aftermarket light weight pulleys. The only way I'm driving an automatic is if it's an 18 wheeler... ever seen how many gears on those thing's. I just love being a part of the mechanical aspect of the car and the art... so the 3 pedal is where I'm at. Stay and drive safe out there everyone.
The newer automatics are king of shift speed, retaining boost and overall quickness of driving being able to select the right gear at the right moment any given time
Manual all the way 👌🏽 driven many jdm legends while here in Japan and honestly the auto versions have a completely different feel. Learned how to drive manual here on a R33 gtst. Now own a manual s15 and I wouldn't trade it for anything 💖
It "All depends on your Teacher"... Back in 1991, my Dad tried to teach me how to engage the Clutch on a 9° Angle Driveway... I roasted 2 clutches before we just walked away from each other... I learned while working at an Auto Auction with my Manager handing me the Keys of a 1992 Porsche 911, and said "Now you will Learn"! Now I can drive "ALMOST" Everything.
Manual for life! It doesn’t matter if auto is faster, there will always be someone faster, so you might as well have the enjoyment and connection with your car with 3 pedals and a stick.
watching this kind of videos from Europe always makes me think, here (Spain) nearly all cars are manual, I only found automatics on buses and high end luxury cars, maybe I'm biased because of that, but even after driving an auto on a trip I did, I will 100% stick to manual
I mean in so many cases unless you are buying newer, very expensive cars with DCT the autos are still slower once you add the extra weight of an auto trans, the shift times, and the overall less efficiency. Plus you are losing so much driving styles and techniques like clutch kicking, double clutching, heel toes etc. Losing that connection with a car can make them really boring to drive and give you less road feel. Not to mention so many new autos don't come with a handbrake you can grab so have fun correcting that understeer most newer cars are setup to do cause its "safer than oversteer" lol.
I bought a manual Golf R as my first sports car. Sucks to loose sometimes for missing a gear, but makes me happy that I feel like I am the one racing and that it was my fault for lack of practice. Let’s admit, automatic is faster but there is no fun knowing your car will alwAys give you the same outcome, versus manual, there is always space for improvement
I learned with and did almost half my hours in a manual, it was just a done thing for me because I want to be able to drive whatever car I want and most utes and 4WDs are manual. But since then I’ve only owned autos and I just want a manual car now

No human being can shift FASTER than an Automatic transmission when it's ALL said and done! But, yes, it is the Owner who decides what is Best for him or her and what feels good so that you can enjoy your vehicle to its fullest potential!👍
Exactly, you can control the rpm's so you always have the advantage when going up or down hilly terrain. Also you can rev when coasting to a stop, two step in traffic, and downshift near electric cars
Having full control of when your car shifts is my #1 reason for me having a manual. Rowing through the gears is just enjoyable to me. Downshifting then blowing by cars is fun lol
Automatics imo are for people who just want to get to their destination simple and easily, as there’s nothing wrong with that. Manual is for people who want to control their car and enjoy their ride to their set destination. There’s nothing wrong with driving an automatic, but I personally drive a manual and I enjoy it more then an automatic
I think people get so defensive because they want recognition. Yes knowing how to drive manual means you have more options as far as cars to drive. Yes it means you have some more control. Yes it's hecka fun. NO it does not mean your fellow enthusiasts or other people should respect you more because you had a parent or buddy take you out for a few hours to teach you how to drive stick. It also shouldn't mean you down talk other people for not knowing how to drive stick. All transmissions matter.
True it depends sports car manual is always better a commuter for physical disability automatic transmission and flappy paddles dct is better unless it is expensive to make manual work for a disabled people.
as a automotive technician i say : lets brake down things A LITTLE . torque converter automatics have a major drawback 1.there is no fuel cut when gas pedal is off . ECM is on Closed loop (CL) when tps =0 except very few models not fuel efficient at all 2. no sporty feeling , not for tracks 3 faster than manual equivalent 4. no engine braking unless you downshift manually 5. perfect for drag racing +daily driver CVT autos 1 sluggish 2 not good at power transfer not made for tracks , perfect daily driver 3 smoothest acceleration than anything else 4 faster than manual equivalent 5 no engine braking no matter what you do 6 always on CL DCT autos basically a manual tranny with double axles and a classic multiclutch . 1 also goes to open loop (OP) when tps=0 2 fuel efficiency 3 sporty feeling , perfect for track use + daily driver . 4 perfect for all applications 5 faster than any manual 6 drivers who own DCT MUST go to neutral in heavy traffic or long stops 7 typical engine braking MANUAL tranny 1 fuel efficiency , goes to OP when tps=0 2 can handle almost anything 3 sporty feeling . perfect5 for track 4 boring in traffic + commuting 5 slowest of all 6 cheap maintenance + light + easy to repair 7 typical engine brakjng
As long as it's not some 90s cvt automatics are pretty good I got a 2007 e92 335d with a basic zf6 torque converter it hauls ass and you barely notice the shifts
If you want to know which manufacturer is doing it right nowadays, look at Porsche. When the 911R came out people were demanding a manual GT3(a car focused on lap times) at a price that was not inflated and they delivered with the GT3 touring
I like both. I would say for me an auto as a daily driver and a manual fun car. Since I work in an outdoor job where I'm always on my feet so when I'm done I want to relax when I drive instead of having to use my feet even more after work
This mirrors almost exactly what we are dealing with in the culinary world with the move to Induction. It doesn't matter how much better induction is on performance metrics, people still like gas. Me being more of a technophile drive a dct car and cook on induction.
manual fun to drive lower maintenance cost and repairs vs auto higher maintenance cost .better gas ,better converters ,faster me personally nothing beats the fun and pure joy of a manual just my opinion
Auto vs manual transmission is like using a DSLR in automatic mode, or switching to manual mode. The manual mode will always give you a more connected experience. Also, manual cars will never disappear because sooner or later people will want to have that connection again. It will just remain a very niche product like Vinyl's. Look how Vinyls made a come back even though so many including labels said they were dead and would never return ^__~
You're not wrong. In drag racing there are classes for auto vs manual. And even different manual classes like H pattern being separate from sequential.
I found a good price on a car I really wanted like 7 years ago and when I got there it was a manual. I had no idea how to drive one. Bought it anyways. My pops drove it home and for the next couple of weeks I made the neighborhood laugh and faced death at intersections.
It feels amazing but I will say an automatic does shift faster and I can chill while I drive and not always feel like I need to be a race car driver. With that being said I still prefer manual. You feel connected to the road and the ladies respect it 😏
My first car was a 99 nb miata. My only car with ac. Just sold my 95m miata and am picking up a 2011 prht nc... auto. I will miss rowing gears but it's still a miata WITH A RETRACTABLE HARDTOP.
I worked at a dealer ship and cvts were not it! I prefer a manual because I love having a strong left calf on my stage 2 clutch! I do know most if not all cars auto counter parts are heavier by sometimes 100lbs or more or less. Agree with you qhen you say an auto accelerates faster 100%!! I still like being in the manual car category because I like thinking my car may roll back at parking lots

I would buy one. Its gotta be a 2JZ-GTE with twins. (No, I'm not 13 years old, and yes, the supra is truly a great car, not the new though)
@@tom.northshore are you sure that you aren't a 12 y/o? You still hate on the Supra because BMW helped
@@user-mx1fq6qm6i How would you feel if a car you grew up loving, fully japanese made, and a legend, got made by german car company, so it lost it's true roots. If you like the new supra, that's just fine, but it shows how much passion and knowledge you lack for a good japanese made drift/street car. I'm not even sure if the new supra comes in manual which would truly be a disgrace to its heritage.
@@tom.northshore did anyone get angry that GM did it for decades?
@@user-mx1fq6qm6i we're talking about Supras not GM. Not sure what the point of that was. Maybe you like GM's, I mean they do make some good trucks.
Unless I’m tracking times, I’d choose to be in control of my gears and drive a manual any day! Makes driving so much more enjoyable. Definitely don’t need to save 1 second to get to the stop light.
Manual for life
In Europe people don't complain about auto or manual, because almost everyone can drive both
I miss it out there
I have both and each have there place.
I like when someone in stick shift car runs there mouth before the race. Saying how fast they can shift and they can launch at high rpm’s but I can’t. Then we line up and I launch at 4000 rpm and drag that A$$. Good times!
Its easier to drive a automatic car fast then a manual, manual takes more driver skill and because of that is more fun to drive imo
It's pretty easy to drive a manual at speed. It's much harder to pull off low speed parking lot maneuvers and cold starts on hills (especially icy or wet hills).
Depends on who’s driving. Maybe someone who’s been driving manuals all their life will have fun BUT may not be fun for someone who just wants to go fast out the box.
@@erikw792 Why would cold starts be hard on a hill😂
Should you even be allowed to have a driving licence if you can't drive manual? 🤔
You don’t have to drive a manual to know how to drive. Driving is driving
@@hasangarcia7091 It was intended as satire.. of course you can drive only with the knowledge of auto.. 😒 there won't be any manual cars left within 15/20 years! 😅
Hey, there’s a bit of truth to that...
Where im from the most common cars on the road are manual. And where im from most car enthusiast appreciate manuals but prefer automatics
Whose Gramps is that? cutting everyone off 😂 4:01
😂
Autos are generally faster, and more efficient now, that part is undeniable. But there is something with just throwing gears that I have never found with the autos. A nice dual clutch or single is amazing to drive, and tons of fun, but its that missing little factor of something that isn't describable.
I get way better city with a manual. Just put her in neutral and coast to the light, my junkbox was rated for 24 city 33 highway. I managed a combined 36 mpg 2 individual times before I went back down to 24 because I was bored of driving like some soccer mom. Faster if we are talking any dual clutch, PDK, or 2015 and newer single clutch auto I agree. No hate, just saying.
I prefer manuals strictly for the enjoyment of banging through the gears. But automatics are cool too cuz you can practice left foot braking more easily.
Left foot braking? That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen...
@@Karll541 it kind of is at first, but you eventually learn not to use your whole leg like you would with a clutch pedal
I have 04 wrx 4eat (4 speed Automatic) . Guys What do you think about my car Give me ur opinion ?
My auto so good, i put into R for race!
😂
"so you want a side chick"
Speed - Racing sequential
Fun - Manual
Cost - Manual
Resale value - Manual
Best package - Newest automatic or dual clutch
There is no argument here. If u wanna drag race u'll need an automatic dual clutch. If u know how to drive and enjoy your car u'll always go for a stick.
If everyone drove a manual in America, like they do in Europe, there would probably be less distracted driving because you need to actually pay attention, you would have more polite drivers because everyone would want more space in front and behind them when going high speeds, etc.
I'm manual all the way for the control, sometimes the computer for faster shift trans doesn't understand the conditions of road
Only thing that drives me nuts about MT is the difficulty level increase in eating and driving.
You shouldn't be eating and driving anyway.
I owned a G35 coupe 03 in auto fit my first car it was fun to drive especially as a first car but I always wanted a manual grew up having car enthusiasts uncles and cousins watched intital d as a kid loved the show and later when I got my first manual i realized how much of a better driver I became that’s why a manual will always be superior it does change the while driving experience for the better an auto can never do that
I drive both a manual and an automatic. I use the automatic for work as a delivery driver for less stress and the manual to have some fun driving. best of both worlds.
Im just a die hard manual guy, I don't know automatic it looks intimidatingly difficult and confusing to comprehend.
🤣 but no really manual is my choice.
I will always go manual on anything I own. So I feel you 100%
Driving an automatic puts me to sleep. So I gotta stay with a manual 🤣
Its Not That Hard you Just Press The Break and Change The Gear to Drive or Reverse Or park...
I drove an auto through a field once when I was 7, but the first car I _actually_ learned to drive in at 16yo was a 5MT 2007 Ford Fusion.
Learned to drive on an 1985 Ford Del Rey manual back in Brazil and still can't see myself driving an automatic in the UK. I just prefer the level of control that a manual transmission gives no matter the weather and road conditions.
Carai, brabo de mais, aprendeu no del rey, certeza que se deve fuma um derbao hj em dia kkkkk e nois mano
A manual is for the enthusiast....a modern auto is for when you want to go fast.
Well said
A modern auto is for when you’ve given up on life.
stop gatekeeping "enthusiast" its pathetic and pretentious. No wonder no one takes the car community seriously anymore
Theres a big difference between Manual, Automatic and DSG/PDK/DCG however you wanna call it, they are the best of both worlds.
Fun factor as you still have full control and fun as heck, and relaxed af in auto mode.
For traveling, auto.
For spirited driving, manual.
Have a corolla for everyday and distance traveling. A focus ST for fun days.
I got a 2012 gti last year with a 6 speed manual. Most fun car I’ve ever driven
What's up from Quebec in Montreal guy's. I'm definitely bugging you guys again to please do a video on aftermarket light weight pulleys. The only way I'm driving an automatic is if it's an 18 wheeler... ever seen how many gears on those thing's. I just love being a part of the mechanical aspect of the car and the art... so the 3 pedal is where I'm at. Stay and drive safe out there everyone.
A biG Montreal thanks to whoever gave me that like... stay safe.
i know i'm buying a manual but i'll watch it anyway...got nothing to do
If in not going 9/10 in my is300 I hate the car daily. Make sure you get the right car for the right purpose.
The newer automatics are king of shift speed, retaining boost and overall quickness of driving being able to select the right gear at the right moment any given time
Manual all the way 👌🏽 driven many jdm legends while here in Japan and honestly the auto versions have a completely different feel. Learned how to drive manual here on a R33 gtst. Now own a manual s15 and I wouldn't trade it for anything 💖
It "All depends on your Teacher"...
Back in 1991, my Dad tried to teach me how to engage the Clutch on a 9° Angle Driveway... I roasted 2 clutches before we just walked away from each other...
I learned while working at an Auto Auction with my Manager handing me the Keys of a 1992 Porsche 911, and said "Now you will Learn"!
Now I can drive "ALMOST" Everything.
Manual for life! It doesn’t matter if auto is faster, there will always be someone faster, so you might as well have the enjoyment and connection with your car with 3 pedals and a stick.
Short answer, modern automatics like the ZF8 and DCT are faster.
What is the zf8?
8 speed auto found in srt and bmw m products i belive
watching this kind of videos from Europe always makes me think, here (Spain) nearly all cars are manual, I only found automatics on buses and high end luxury cars, maybe I'm biased because of that, but even after driving an auto on a trip I did, I will 100% stick to manual
I mean in so many cases unless you are buying newer, very expensive cars with DCT the autos are still slower once you add the extra weight of an auto trans, the shift times, and the overall less efficiency. Plus you are losing so much driving styles and techniques like clutch kicking, double clutching, heel toes etc. Losing that connection with a car can make them really boring to drive and give you less road feel. Not to mention so many new autos don't come with a handbrake you can grab so have fun correcting that understeer most newer cars are setup to do cause its "safer than oversteer" lol.
I bought a manual Golf R as my first sports car. Sucks to loose sometimes for missing a gear, but makes me happy that I feel like I am the one racing and that it was my fault for lack of practice. Let’s admit, automatic is faster but there is no fun knowing your car will alwAys give you the same outcome, versus manual, there is always space for improvement
I learned with and did almost half my hours in a manual, it was just a done thing for me because I want to be able to drive whatever car I want and most utes and 4WDs are manual. But since then I’ve only owned autos and I just want a manual car now

No human being can shift FASTER than an Automatic transmission when it's ALL said and done! But, yes, it is the Owner who decides what is Best for him or her and what feels good so that you can enjoy your vehicle to its fullest potential!👍
Manuals are more engaging and that's the appeal right?
Feeling more of a connection with the vehicle?
I don't drive stick so I wouldn't know
Exactly, you can control the rpm's so you always have the advantage when going up or down hilly terrain. Also you can rev when coasting to a stop, two step in traffic, and downshift near electric cars
Having full control of when your car shifts is my #1 reason for me having a manual. Rowing through the gears is just enjoyable to me.
Downshifting then blowing by cars is fun lol

Both. Just make sure if you're buying a second car...you have one auto and one manual! They both have their purposes 🔥🔥
Automatics imo are for people who just want to get to their destination simple and easily, as there’s nothing wrong with that. Manual is for people who want to control their car and enjoy their ride to their set destination. There’s nothing wrong with driving an automatic, but I personally drive a manual and I enjoy it more then an automatic
This shouldn't even be a question. #teammanual
Team car bro
I think people get so defensive because they want recognition. Yes knowing how to drive manual means you have more options as far as cars to drive. Yes it means you have some more control. Yes it's hecka fun. NO it does not mean your fellow enthusiasts or other people should respect you more because you had a parent or buddy take you out for a few hours to teach you how to drive stick. It also shouldn't mean you down talk other people for not knowing how to drive stick. All transmissions matter.
I’m surprised no one mentioned using paddle shifters for shifting in an auto
Most 0-60 or 1/4 mile runs aren't done using the paddle shifters, the computers are still quicker than a human when it comes to using paddles even.
It depends which car its on.
True it depends sports car manual is always better a commuter for physical disability automatic transmission and flappy paddles dct is better unless it is expensive to make manual work for a disabled people.
Manual all day!
as a automotive technician i say :
lets brake down things A LITTLE .
torque converter automatics have a major drawback
1.there is no fuel cut when gas pedal is off .
ECM is on Closed loop (CL) when tps =0 except very few models
not fuel efficient at all
2. no sporty feeling , not for tracks
3 faster than manual equivalent
4. no engine braking unless you downshift manually
5. perfect for drag racing +daily driver
CVT autos
1 sluggish
2 not good at power transfer not made for tracks , perfect daily driver
3 smoothest acceleration than anything else
4 faster than manual equivalent
5 no engine braking no matter what you do
6 always on CL
DCT autos
basically a manual tranny with double axles and a classic multiclutch .
1 also goes to open loop (OP) when tps=0
2 fuel efficiency
3 sporty feeling , perfect for track use + daily driver .
4 perfect for all applications
5 faster than any manual
6 drivers who own DCT MUST go to neutral in heavy traffic or long stops
7 typical engine braking
MANUAL tranny
1 fuel efficiency , goes to OP when tps=0
2 can handle almost anything
3 sporty feeling . perfect5 for track
4 boring in traffic + commuting
5 slowest of all
6 cheap maintenance + light + easy to repair
7 typical engine brakjng
I got a scat pack with a spoon engine and on top of that I went to Harry's and ordered 3 T66 turbos, with NOS, and a Motec system exhaust!
That's going to haul a$$
As long as it's not some 90s cvt automatics are pretty good I got a 2007 e92 335d with a basic zf6 torque converter it hauls ass and you barely notice the shifts
If you want to know which manufacturer is doing it right nowadays, look at Porsche. When the 911R came out people were demanding a manual GT3(a car focused on lap times) at a price that was not inflated and they delivered with the GT3 touring
I like both. I would say for me an auto as a daily driver and a manual fun car. Since I work in an outdoor job where I'm always on my feet so when I'm done I want to relax when I drive instead of having to use my feet even more after work
This mirrors almost exactly what we are dealing with in the culinary world with the move to Induction. It doesn't matter how much better induction is on performance metrics, people still like gas.
Me being more of a technophile drive a dct car and cook on induction.
As long as we’re happy with what we’re driving I think it’s not a big deal
manual fun to drive lower maintenance cost and repairs vs auto higher maintenance cost .better gas ,better converters ,faster me personally nothing beats the fun and pure joy of a manual just my opinion
Auto vs manual transmission is like using a DSLR in automatic mode, or switching to manual mode. The manual mode will always give you a more connected experience.
Also, manual cars will never disappear because sooner or later people will want to have that connection again. It will just remain a very niche product like Vinyl's. Look how Vinyls made a come back even though so many including labels said they were dead and would never return ^__~
ey another great video. if y'all guys doesn't really have new vid idea try talk more about Japanese 90's VIP car they're great!!keep up the good work!
You're not wrong. In drag racing there are classes for auto vs manual. And even different manual classes like H pattern being separate from sequential.
"So you want a manual Acura legend" 😎
I found a good price on a car I really wanted like 7 years ago and when I got there it was a manual. I had no idea how to drive one. Bought it anyways. My pops drove it home and for the next couple of weeks I made the neighborhood laugh and faced death at intersections.
PLEASE DO, “SO YOU WANT A MAZDA MIATA ND?” 🥺
crunchy transmission time
the right answer is too have both.
It feels amazing but I will say an automatic does shift faster and I can chill while I drive and not always feel like I need to be a race car driver. With that being said I still prefer manual. You feel connected to the road and the ladies respect it 😏
Manual car is more more engaging for the driver👍
#savethemanuals
I prefer manual because that's what im used to. I don't care whats faster.
My first car was a 99 nb miata. My only car with ac. Just sold my 95m miata and am picking up a 2011 prht nc... auto. I will miss rowing gears but it's still a miata WITH A RETRACTABLE HARDTOP.
I worked at a dealer ship and cvts were not it! I prefer a manual because I love having a strong left calf on my stage 2 clutch! I do know most if not all cars auto counter parts are heavier by sometimes 100lbs or more or less. Agree with you qhen you say an auto accelerates faster 100%!! I still like being in the manual car category because I like thinking my car may roll back at parking lots
if you can get a dual clutch, do it. they’re great. i’ve driven multiple manuals but i love my DSG.
