it all depends on what vehicle, who will drive it, the driving style, and the conditions...
it also depends on what kind of automatic you're talking about. If it's one of those modern and intelligent automatics, then good. But if it's one of those old automatics that dont know how to shift on time and are quite annoying to drive, so manual nalang...
if its a van for daily use, city driving, automatic... but then again if its so dumb, manual nalang...
if youre a busy office guy who is always stressed, automatic nalang...
if youre a girl, automatic nalang...
but if its a car just for the weekend and its one of those "driver" cars, then ill have a manual to be able to feel the car totally.
