If your car is 1.3L Engine, would you go for MT or AT?

Depends on the car. Generally though I'd go for MT since the power and efficiency difference can really be felt for cars with such little engines. But if you don't mind slower performance and slightly higher consumption in exchange for a more comfortable drive in city traffic, then go for AT.

CVTs are great though since they don't have the consumption penalty of traditional ATs, sometimes even being more efficient than their MT counterpart. Thing is, the Mirage is the only sub-1.3L car with CVT, the rest still have old-school torque-converter ATs.

A/T costs more than M/T. They may be slightly less fuel efficient than an M/T but the price difference can be used for other matters.

Exercise and proper posture din pag may time.

When u are over 40 years old i suggest u get the AT trans because the daily pressure of the clutch will eventually wear your lumbar (spinal connecting your pelvic bone) resulting in low back pain in the long run. By the time u notice it, some nerves may have been compressed by the pressure and it may result in numbness in some parts of your legs

if you like MT, get one with very soft clutch pedal..

bakit lahat yata ng AT na nasubukan ko (except for the brio amaze) may delay talaga when you floor it.

it's the nature of the beast, po.
ATs have a liquid coupling that has an initial slippage... we can only minimize it by clever engineering, but can not entirely get rid of it.
and, i believe, it gets less noticeable with smaller (lower momentum) vehicles..

+ 1 to this, kelangan pa rin ng exercise.

ayaw mo may delay? press the brake with your left foot, accelerator with your right. or heel-toe mo. then release the brakes. magastos lang sa goma. takaw sunog atf din pag lagi mo ginagawa.
