Let’s be real here. It doesn’t matter if you have an automatic or a manual. What matters is that you’re happy with what you own.

“Dude, are you even into cars if you drive an automatic” ~12 yr old kid who can’t even drive

[nza]

Basically you can't compare a automatic from a Honda to a automatic from a lambo.

All the kids who can't drive stick, and cruise around in their automatic civics saying "but automatics are faster", yes but yours isn't.

[SpartanRacing]

Everyone when they first learn how to drive should start with a manual. This way they could drive anything.

I drive an automatic, but I’d rather have a manual so people who love sticking things up their butt would stop telling me I drive an automatic

[RogueHero]

Manuals are nice but nothing beats driving in heavy traffic than having an automatic. Heck I couldn't stand paddle shifting in heavy traffic so I could imagine a regular Manual.

[HarryK]

I've been daily driving a manual transmission in NYC for about 5 months now. It really doesn't matter where you live you just have to practice releasing your clutch to the biting point and you will never stall. Even on hills.

I got my first car the other day. I had to get myself a manual.

Automatic for commuting, manuals for weekends with the boys

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’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 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 🕹

[JewportMenthols]

If you want a more engaging car to drive, get a manual. You truly feel like you are operating heavy machinery, because you indeed are.

[ragingfred]

People get too caught up in spec sheet numbers they forget to enjoy the car.

[josephphelps]

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.

[killer]

Oh damn I'm early. 2 views. Manuals are awesome but they suck in traffic. Auto for daily, manual for the weekend car.

[SilverMoon]

Lets all come together as car enthusiasts and not worry about others preferences.

[Mitrofanvlad]

In Europe people don't complain about auto or manual, because almost everyone can drive both
