Nako. More on personal choice na po yan. Btw, mas limited yung glx. Wala yung green yellow at blue ata. Sa gls lang yun

Thank you to guys for all the great help Without this site (tsikot) and it's helpful members, I might end up getting a fiesta or a wigo. Again, thank you I will now be getting a Mitsubishi Mirage GLX CVT A/T over Toyota Wigo and Ford Fiesta. God bless and all the best to all of us!

Manual transmission pinakasafe sa lahat.

- Pag automatic pwede itakas ng mga bata makukulit.

-Yung mga nastroke, health problem, nataranta eh napa-apak ng todo sa gas pedal eh matic palagi.

- Kahit hindi mo palitan gear oil in 15-20 years wala problem mangyayari. Sa automatic subukan nyo wala palitan atf eh yari kayo.

All debatable...

Manual transmission pinakasafe sa lahat.

- Pag automatic pwede itakas ng mga bata makukulit. -- Kapabayaan ng magulang wag isisi sa sasakyan.

-Yung mga nastroke, health problem, nataranta eh napa-apak ng todo sa gas pedal eh matic palagi. -- How often does this happen?

- Kahit hindi mo palitan gear oil in 15-20 years wala problem mangyayari. Sa automatic subukan nyo wala palitan atf eh yari kayo. -- Like comparing a calculator to a computer. The latter needs more care (ie. software patches, anti-virus, etc., along with it the risk of failure) because it's doing more than what a calculator is doing. That's the price to pay for convenience.

= Hindi ko sinsisi, Sinabi ko lang madali gawin ng bata sa automatic transmission. Sa manual trans dalawa paa kailangan mo gamitin at kanan kamay para ikambyo. Hindi magagawa ng bata yan.

= Wala ako statistics pero sa mga news like yung sa china bumulusok paatras eh matic. Dito sa pinas yung sumikat na nastroke sa parking lot greenhills na lumusot sa pader. Kahit yung funny montero sudden accelaration should be called nagpakamalan brake pedal ang gas pedal.

= Eh ang comparison Manual vs Matic. Kaya sinabi ko lang maintenance ng dalawa.

Kung baga hands down lamang na lamang ang manual. Durability and safety.

[SkyFlakes88]

For me i'd still prefer manual transmission than automatics. Generally almost no maintenance ang manual kasi. It's quick on the wheels. Responsive i should say. The only time i want the auto trans is when there is heavy traffic.

[dct]

Karamihan (hindi kayong lahat ah) ng nagsasabi pangit automatic o may mga excuse sa automatic ay di pa nakadrive ng automatic. Ganyan din ako dati e. Iniisip ko reliability, maintenance, delay sa shift, magkamali ng apak at kung ano ano pang rason. Nagdiscuss kami ng family, decided to go with automatic para matuto rin mga babaeng kapatid ko. Thankfully yun ang decision namin. Pwera sa hindi pagod sa traffic, na-ACL left knee ko. Kung manual yan ilang buwan ako di makadrive after surgery. At we'll never go back to manual kasi ok na ok naman pala ang automatic

[rey752]

I'd prefer a car with AT transmission,even on long drives may OK automatic for me.but sadly the vehicles we have now is all with manual transmission, haha cause since we can drive manual naman so we buy manual CAUSE IT CHEAPER, cheaper to buy & cheaper to maintain.

[oj88]

^^ Agree.

You just have to weigh in the pros and cons and decide for yourself alin ang priorities mo. Most people driving an A/T tanggap na na mas mataas ang cost of ownership nito para makuha nila ang convenience. Well, ganun din naman ang power steering. Babalik ka ba sa mechanical 'pawis' steering para lang wala ka nang mine-maintain na PSF, pump, hose, at steering rack? Sa bagay, sa non-pwered steering, grasa lang ang sagot sa lahat ng problema.. :D Nga lang, maglalakihan mga braso natin.

Ayaw ni mommy o ni ate nun.

"ATs is for sissies!"
... until i broke my left leg..
i bought an AT just so's i can move around and work...
ayun.. i bought my second AT.. it has its uses..

[Bin Diesel]

Kapag bumili ako ng gustong gusto ko na kotse M/T bibilihin ko para di magamit misis ko. hehe.

[SkyFlakes88]

There are pros and cons to both transmissions and both are good. Before we have both the manual and auto. Sadly the auto gave out after 10years of use. After changing the transmission we sold it and bought a manual coz we don't usually go to mla. but i'm still gonna buy an automatic if given the budget for our next purchase.[emoji4]

[oj88]

I'm just glad that I live in a generation that afforded me the chance to drive an M/T, maybe before it becomes a minority in about a decade, more or less. It was an extraordinary experience, learning to drive a stick. But you have to move with the times. Most people nowadays have real man-problems that driving from point A to B is just routine.

I love analogies and what comes to my mind is the Internet.

Two decades ago, to be able to connect to the internet, you'll need to understand how TCP/IP works, why 16550 UART serial chipsets were preferred if you use an external modem, or how to properly terminate a 10Base2 coax, etc. Nowadays, everything's plug and play. A nursery student can connect to the WiFi with little parental help. That's I think, where everything is going.

Truly, times have changed. Kids of the 70s and 80s have all learned to drive using sticks. AT cars were not that common back then.

Also, how irrelevant encyclopedia sets have become nowadays. They have become collectibles of little use to the kids of the new generation. The free information found in the web have forced these books into retirement overnight.

Para sa akin mas preferred ko ang manual. Nandun kasi yun mas "feel" mo yun sasakyan pag nag drive ka. Added na rin yun lower initial cost ng sasakyan and lower fuel consumption plus maintenance cost.

Sa automatic naman habol ko yun cruise control(kaso hinde lahat ng matic meron) lalo na pag nag long highway drive ako(esp lalo na pag may kasamang accelaration and deceleration control sa sterring wheel). Syempre nandyan na rin medyo mas relaxed ka pag heavy traffic. Plus lalo na pag traffic tapos paakyat sa inclined na road.

Nun time na bumili kami ng sasakyan, nag usap kami ng family at napag-botohan na matic ang kunin(3-1). New drivers lang kasi si misis at mga daughters ko. Bago sila nag driving school eh ako muna nag turo sa kanila gamit yun bagong sasakyan. After a later time nun umalis na ako naunang mag drving school yun panganay ko. Manual yun pinili nya na gamitin sa drving school para daw makita nya yun difference.

She then told me later on na mas preferred na daw nya ang manual.

It's a good thing na meron kami na mumurahin na encyclopedia. Although may katagalan na at hinde updated pero it's fun na meron ka pa rin pwedeng basabasahin. Yun bunso ko one time pinag research ng professor nila. At sinabihan sila nabawal mag research sa internet. They need to find other sources such as books. I'm glad that we had the collection of books kaya meron sya nagamit.

I also remembered the time during my college days nun nakapunta ako sa Thomas Jefferson library para sa isang research. Hinde na lang ako sure if nag exist pa yun library na yun ngayon.

Yung comparson mo masyado malayo.

Yung pawis steering obsolete na yan.

Ang labanan na ngayon power steering fluid type vs electric power steering na . Power steering hindi rin mawawala dahil nasa infancy pa electic power steering.

Dito sa pilipinas ang manual trans malabo maobsolete.

[hondabishi]

Before M/T...but now I prefer A/T.
Also when buying a bnew car, most of the time...the A/T variant gets the "additional goodies".

[OneFix]

Depende yan sa convinience ng gagamit. May driver kasi na mas ok sa kanya ang A/T than M/T. Its up to you kung saan ka mas makakapg-drive ng maayos.
