Battle of the Transmissions: M/T vs. A/T

[roberto_minosa]

M/T is better because I own a car with M/T.

A/T is better because I own a car with A/T.

that's pretty much this thread.

For me I own both but a/t (with sportstronic mode) now is really-pretty good. You will forget m/t if you own (a/t) one this time.

Kung ano mas mura imaintain yun ang vote ko pero mas gusto ko A/T bwiset yung traffic dito sa Manila

Yup, thats make our life comfortable pag naka-a/t ka!

[EE100shiro]

syempre M/T tranny pwedeng pang drift !!!!

some AT vehicles e.g. Monty have the paddle shifters and tiptronic feature. parang naka manual ka na rin. you get best of both worlds in AT and MT.

Nope.

sa ibang bansa puro A/T ang gamit.

In the U.S. a lot of cars are automatics. Families have gone several generations without knowing how to drive a manual transmission. Dealerships rarely have stick shifts in stock bec. they don't sell. A ownership survey came out a year ago in the U.S. and Road & Track had an article. Subaru, VW and Porsche were the only U.S. manufacturers to have 50% of the buyers buy stick shifts. All other manufacturers were less than 8%.

Sa Europe hindi

Sa Europe hindi

+1

Sa Europe panay M/T. Pati yung mga Benz, BMW, etc.

Pero kadalasan kapag makakita ka ng A/T, those will be on the luxury cars.

not on the taxi units.
sa singapore, m.east, beijing.......lahat m/t.

Not entirely true since I own both M/T and A/T. It's more of AT for me if matindi traffic and MT if not so much. But maybe AT with paddle shifters will be the norm later on. Or another tech along the way shows up. Who knows?!

Paddle shifters! Many new model already with this kind of norm now!

Many but not majority so hindi pa rin siya norm. A norm should be at least a majority of cars sold like airbags (kahit driver side man lang).

Or maybe high standard or high norm. Because most of high quality car has it specially year 2010 & up models.

Or the norm has just began!

A/T w/ paddle shifter, best of both. (Almost)
The Final Gear Ratio of A/T and M/T must be considered
(If fuel economy is being considered).

And the place & amount of time you will spend driving.
City/Hi-way.
If City (most of the time traffic, then I prefer a small car w/ A/T)
If mostly Hi-way, (Durable & Impact proven vehicle w/ M/T - more control, fun and requires more driver attention).
