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

[dct]

Ayoko na bumalik ng M/T. Minimal lang naman ang difference sa fc. Kung gusto talagang magtipid huwag na lang ilabas ang sasakyan, 8 lang ang pamasahe ngayon so 16 ang balikan. Haha

AT with paddle shifters nga ang da best!

Hindi yung pure Mt or pure At lang.

Iba pa rin yung nagshishift manually. Or baka mabagal lang kasi talaga auto tranny ko

[lowslowbenz]

I own both automatic and manual cars. Pag medyo may topak, ilalabas ko manual. Pag tamad, gagamitin ko automatic.

Wala na ako pakialam kung ano mas matipid gamitin, kakain at kakain naman talaga ng gas ang mga yan eh!

[bjreyesmd]

City driving I would prefer AT, comfort above all else. Highway and provincial roads where vehicles are less and traffic is rare, MT for me.

[mustanggrande]

It really depends on your preferences - I know but, let's admit it, more often than not, it all falls down to the question on whether or not you're keeping your car for a long time or otherwise.

From the 2, manual is still a lot more dependable. Automatic transmissions are so hard to maintain when your car gets old.

There are a lot of points to talk about but I'm just sharing to you something that has not yet been mentioned.

Since I've driven an AT di nako babalik sa MT. Meron pa kasing factor na matigas o malambot ang clutch sa MT. Pag matic wala na. Pag may driver wag din Manual kasi minsan mang-gigiit ka pag mali ang pasok ng gear ng driver. Siguro tumatanda na din at gusto nalang eh convenience lalo na when i am eating my lunch while driving.

Ano na kaya ang mix ng benta ng mga car dealers (brand new cars) for M/T and A/T...

Kasi kami, for our last few purchases,- since approx 10 years ago,- puro A/T na....

Kami rin puro AT na gamit namin, kahit tatay ko na die hard MT ang gusto nag AT na din.
Ang napansin ko maraming modelo ng kotse nawawala na ang MT sa TOTL nila.
Pero kung bibili ako ng kotseng gustong gusto ko talaga MT pipiliin ko para di magamit ng asawa ko. hehe.

May itinira pa naman akong isang M/T na ako lang ang gumagamit...

Pero, for equality,- the rest ATs na para ma-drive ni wifey...

Our eldest is almost in his driving age,- and I will teach him how to drive M/T first, for flexibility.....

I totally agree. Ako kasi minsan papalit palit ng car depende sa pupuntahan. Eh kung may emergency at naiwan ang manual sa bahay. Di madrive ni misis.

Not all wives though like AT as a matter of fact, and one of them is my wife

Maarte nalang tingin ko mga Pinoy lately hehe ---- Kesyo traffic daw chief at kung ano-ano pa.... Metro Manila resident kami at lahat ng sasakyan namin ay MT

Cheers!

[gearhead000]

used to be an M/T guy. tingin ko sa mga naka-A/T di nila na-eenjoy mag-drive. ngayon naka-A/T na ako, and still enjoy driving with it... especially nga sa traffic situation natin. dami ko rin nasirang kaliwang paa ng sapatos nung M/T pa. kawawa rin talaga transmission sa stop and go traffic lalo sa manual. baka nga di pa talaga marunong ng mga techniques on proper shifting kawawa talaga. and dati i go with the general idea na pag A/T malakas sa gas... pero nasa driving habits na rin lang yan. i still would want an M/T vehicle pag afford ko na mag-kotse ng dalawa (or more). pero kung isa lang, A/T pa rin siguro.

[zap.FREEDOM]

ako rin M/T din talaga ako, but recently nagkarooon kami ng A/T, sa totoo lang namimiss ko na rin mag-drive ng A/T...simple lang, if you want to speed up just floor the gas pedal, yun nga lang nalalakasan sa gas consumption, pero kung kukuha ako ng A/T, gusto ko yung may paddle shifter, para may M/T feel pa rin.

[d_mac]

Personally, having driven a car M/T for 5 yrs now, i encouraged him to get a M/T instead of his usual A/T. I haven't driven A/T cars that much, so i really really can't tell the better one objectively!

Chief, just for insight, i've driven both AT and MT, and whether the car is left-hand or right-hand steering.

Personally, in any case whether it be city- or out-of-town drives or in mountain passes, paved or unpaved roads, on- or off-road, i've always preferred manual tranny vehicles primarily because of the total connection and control with the car. We live in cities, and we always buy manual-tranny cars, by the way.

The only advantage i see with an auto-tranny is the ease of driving when one is having a blow job

Cheers!

[igiwtf]

For metro manila use mas prefer ko a/t with sportronic rather than a mt. Lahat ng madadaanan mo ngayon traffic medium to heavy

[Retz]

mas tipid lang nga sa gasolina pag manual tranny.

[blue_gambit]

Matic talaga, nakakapagod lang ang manual... hehehe

Thats the old belief & not applicable versus the modern a/t!

[alvinator]

Attended driving school for 7 hrs manual, it was too tiring for me tapos ang tigas pa ng clutch. Bandang huli namamatayan or nagjejerk yung kotse kasi nagmamadaling bumitaw yung paa ko sa clutch dahil sa pagod.

Then I attended 4 hours of matic, laking ginahawa sa legs ko and I was able to focus more on other stuff like cornering so in a sense I think mas secure family ko kung matic yung idridrive ko.
