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

[Jun aka Pekto]

Another subjective thread. You won't get a good answer because both transmission merit their own advantages and disadvantages.

If you want to be more specific, your question can be answered. But as it stands, it all depends on the end user (driver) and his preference.

Agreed.

If I'm doing a lot of city driving or even lazy cross-country/cruise control travel like here, I favor an A/T. If I'm charging up a mountain with lots of twisty roads and climbs/dips, I prefer a M/T which allows a good bit of engine-braking and more precise gear use.

On high climb/dip city driving like in San Francisco CA, I prefer a compromise like the Shiftronic of our car.
