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

[KcireReaver]

Hi guys! me and my friend was on a passionate debate on what's the better type of transmission. He plans to buy a new car one in place of his old A/T car. 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. Based on car racing games naman... manual trannys get the better edge, d ba? and i prefer it too. Pros and Cons..., maintenance cost, acceleration.. etc. Love to hear your insights mga pare. I appreciate it!

M/T for long rides since hindi ka mabobore at makaktulog. A/T for city specially on traffic mangangawit paa mo sa clutch pedal kapag m/t

IMO, long rides are stressful, the lesser body function the better especially on winding mountain roads. you dont shift often on long straight roads anyway. and CVT's and the ECU gives you better FC than MT's nowadays.

For me its the other way around. I find it very boring on long drives na walang ginagawa ang, labas nun eh aantukin ako I know dahil I usually travel from agusan to davao and back. So I prefer MT on long drives. But pag dating ko na sa city at na abutan ng rush hour, dyan ko na hahanapin ang convenience ng AT lalo na pag 1st & 2nd gear lang ang kambyohan at dami pa half clutch. namamanhind na minsan paa ko hahaha.

i can't wait for the arrival of electric cars. just a single-ratio. no need to screw around w/ complicated multi-ratio transmissions

I wouldn't mind driving a Tesla, if I could afford one.

Si MVP may tesla sedan kaso never ko pa nakita umandar. One time nakita ko sa valleverde kaso transported via flatbed.

I have seen a Tesla shuffling around the Glorietta area a few months back.

Back to topic, I have gotten used to AT cars already as I have been driving such cars for a long time now (since 2002). I don't mind getting an MT car, like maybe a WRX MT. If I do find myself getting a sporty ride, I would opt for a dual-clutch tranny.

matipid talaga cvt......nagdrive ako madaling-araw around banawe pag 30kph eh = 12kpL
