SHOULD YOU LEARN MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC? What Is Better Manual Or Automatic?

Learning to drive - should you learn manual or automatic? Does it matter if you learn in an automatic car or in a manual car? It doesn't really matter what type of car you learn in as long as you know the difference and what are the benefits. First you get to know the difference then you learn whichever you feel it's best for you.

This video will give you the main basics of the differences of the two so you can get an understanding of the differences of learning in automatic and learning in manual.

Learning in an automatic car can be a little easier to learn comparing to learning in a manual car. Also it can be a little less stress driving an automatic car. The reason is because the automatic cars don't have the clutch and the gear to deal with to go with the speed, whereas in a manual car you have the clutch and the gear which makes the manual a little harder to learn in than the automatic car.

The lesson prices can be a little expensive in automatic than manual, but in manual you might need more lessons because of the clutch and gear.

If you pass the driving test in automatic car then you can only drive automatic - you can't drive manual. But if you pass the driving test in manual then you can drive both, the automatic and manual.

Passing in automatic limits your choice of purchasing cars, you can only purchase automatic and purchasing can be a little expensive for automatic than manual. Also the insurance can be a little expensive in automatic then manual.

Hi everyone
Hope you're well
Does it matter what type of car you learn in? Not really, as long as you know the difference and the benefits.

With the problems that I am facing with manual, it is mainly with the clutch which AUTOMATICALLY gets solved by switching to an automatic car. Which I have problems with especially on uphill roads, although another problem is reversing which will be the same in either car until I get better at it.

Thanks for the information, I'm learning manual car

[shahinakter]

Thank you so much for your suggestions. I have gone for the manual test last year but unfortunately failed on Junction -turning right because of my confusion as there were already another learner car in front of me I thought that car will turn right then I can go in to the box junction but other learner car suddenly stopped, didn't go with flow & I was behind of that car. My examiner said I haven't done anything dangerous but he has to count that as a serious fault. I was so upset because I have driven almost 25 minutes of my test without any minor mistake 😭
Now getting ready for another test. Now I convinced myself to go for manual in sha Allah as I don't have any problems with gear and clutch.

I started watching this channel today and now am picking interest in learning to drive 😁

[geoffreybahati]

[naninilsson]

Personally, I would learn on Manual. I don't think people challenge themselves enough to be honest. My learning-to-drive journey has been a neverending nightmare. About 8 years ago, I took driving lessons on and off for about a year and a half and I passed my Theory Test first time. However, 2 years slipped by and my Theory EXPIRED. So then I had to re-take my Theory and guess what? I FAILED the 2nd time in spite of passing the 1st time, so you can imagine my frustration, especially when you consider the cost of booking a Theory etc. And ever since then I just gave up, I had just had enough. It's 2022 now, i'm 37 years old and I'm going to get back to my journey of learning to drive. I feel embarassed telling people I can't drive. The truth is, I can SORT OF drive but I'm not a confident driver and I'm going to f**kin' pass in 2023, that is literally my own goal for that year.

In 10 years the manual cars will be taken out of the UK market, they announced last year, so what's the point of learning just for 10 years, if you live in the UK ? I prefer automatic, manual cars will not stay on the market for too long. Just checked now and they said in 2030 will happen, so only 8 years more....

[abdulrespectmatters]

What about the safety wise, specially the control of the car. Which one is more reliable? Thanks in advance.

[oskarumesh]

If you can drive manual cars it is a life skill. Anyone who is going to take driving license must be learnt how to drive manual, then he can drive automatic without any issue. Even though learning manual seems to be hard first after you mastered the cluch and gear shifting it is simple like driving automatic. Be patience and practice well, never give up, any one can be a good manual driver.

[samia]

I think it’s not huge difference in difficulty it’s just after you pass and your finding cars that you realise automatics are far more expensive

[isaacokiring]
