When i was first learning to drive, my friend lent me his nissan frontier navarra, model 2002 i think... it was a manual. I had difficulty driving it when we were stopping on humps and some corners. But along the highway when the coast is clear, ok naman sya.
When i had my first car, yung jazz, i chose the AT. Then my tucson was also AT, and now, having sold both of them, I bought a Strada ....AT siempre.
Everyone is after comfort, specially these days of stress at work and even at home, so why add more.stress when we can have a Matic.
