Automatic or manual?

I have an automatic car, but my preferences change depending on the situation. If I'm going to be doing alot of driving through traffic where there is a set speed limit, and its pretty slow then I'll go with an automatic. You don't need to think. You put it in drive and go. But if i'm driving somewhere that's more open, and I can use speed then definitely go with the manual. With the manual you don't have to wait for the engine to slowly putter through, you can hit the gas, and switch gears. You can get up to a higher speed much faster than an automatic can, because you are in control of the car.

I have a manual car. It is the car I first started learning to drive in and I am yet to drive an automatic car. I imagine that driving an automatic car would be really boring. I have a lot of fun changing gears and it keeps me interested while I drive. It's one extra thing to divide your attention to but in the end you can perform gear shifts sub consciously while barely even thinking about it. I used to stall the engine when I was first learning in it but now I barely ever do. When you are learning to drive like I did it might be better to start off in an automatic car as it is slightly easier to learn but I am glad I learned how to drive in a manual first.

Hello slovenc, we do have an automatic and manual car. Actually if you have a manual car you can still drive an automatic car but if you started driving with automatic car then shifting to manual will be difficult. I still prefer the manual car, even we have to change gears all time. Automatic car has an advantage though especially during heavy traffic. Happy mylotting.
