Emeraldwpn Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Driving cars. Manual master race. The list is endless of good reasons to drive a manual over an automatic. Do I actually have facts, quotes, and pages to back that claim up? nope.Seriously, if driving a manual car is so bad, why is it so good? Checkmate automatic drivers.

Joshjrn Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Manuals are far more trouble than they are worth in cities or in otherwise densely populated areas. In less densely populated areas, I would agree. Link to comment

Hess Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Depends really....I mean, as a racer you want Manualas an everyday driver, you want Automaticsince I'm a firm believer of keeping racing on the track and off the street, I'd stick with Automatic, but if I was gonna get a nice spiffy car like a Corvette or something, I'm getting stick.

The Rocket Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I've only ever driven manual cars. When I turned 16 and got my license I got a manual car without even knowing how to drive it yet. That's how committed I was to learning. You guys haven't mentioned that standards also get better gas mileage than automatics, it's not strictly a performance thing.Some people, myself included, enjoy the feeling of connecting with a car that has a manual transmission. It's almost about being one with the car and enjoying the art that driving can be.I can't lie though, in stop and go traffic they fucking SUCK. Link to comment
Mike Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Automatic. Keeps things simple. But for any applied driving you'd want a stick. More control over gear changes for elevation changes, corners, etc. Link to comment
