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!
the debate on the which is better has been going on and on....

Is your friend's daily commute to work & home filled with traffic? Does he appreciate the feel of a manual tranny? Does he actually push a car to near it's limits?

Personally, if you drive through traffic often, you'll learn to love having an automatic tranny.

If he loves to push a car's limits and willing to live with the drawback of a manual tranny in traffic, then go for the manual tranny.

Racing and the daily driven commute aren't the same. I love to race cars but the reality of the traffic in metro manila made me love having an automatic tranny.
