    Manual or Automatic?

    What is your opinion on cars?
    Do you prefer automatic, or manual?

    I am from the UK, and have only ever driven a manual, but automatics seem so boring.

    What do you guys think?

    Manual or Automatic?

    It's really all a matter of personal preference or what you plan on doing with your car. Of course manuals are much more fun, but they can also be a huge pain and can get old over time. If you drive long distances often, then an automatic is definitely a better choice. I always enjoy driving stick, but I'm still glad that I own an automatic.

    Manual or Automatic?

    Driving manuals is fun and all, but I don't own one because I know that the constant shifting would piss me off and I am just plan out to lazy to do it for a main car. Especially since where I live is very hilly.

    Automatic as it makes driving so much easier... there is no fun in driving when your not allowed to speed so no point in Manual.

    Manual or Automatic?

    After driving just a manual for 3 years, you don't even realise your shifting gears.
    It's on the same level as accelerating, or steering.
    It's also good for venting anger as you can slam it in to a low gear, and speed off.

    manual, ther cars are cheaper and if the transmission is fucked up its way cheaper to fix.
    when i was 10 i started riding dirt bikes which helped me learn how to shift and use the clutch so learning how to drive a manual was easy

    manual.

    Auto's can be fun if they have some power, but nothing beats a manual

    Manual or Automatic?

    I've wanted a manual for a while now. I drive a 2008 BMW 328i sport pack so it has paddle shifters so i get the manual feel but without a clutch and can switch it over to automatic whenever i like.

    Manual or Automatic?

    Manual. Automatic cars were designed solely for people who wanted "easier" driving. Automatic cars require no actual thinking, or anything, to operate.

    Plain and simple fast as well is that Manual cars pick up speed much faster then Automatic, unless you grind gears.

    Manual cars actually give you full control over your shifting. If your doing 70 mph and shift down into 3rd gear in some cars you will take off like a rocket, much much more fun to drive this way.

    As of recent models I'm pretty sure there are no real manual lambos anymore besides 1, (balboni?) i may be mistaken though.

    Manual all day. If possible get a car with no power steering and no ac, basically just no power anything because thats how real men drive.

    Lol since I'm in high school and a lot of people try to make their cars look like ones from "The Fast and the Furious" it's Manual at my school.
    Personally I'd go with Manual but overtime I know I'd get pissed off because of switching it every so often so I'd try to buy an Automatic and also a Manual car :) Plus all the cool cars are Manual :D
