If you have a female relative who will use the car, a matic is a good choice especially if they'll use it a lot.

Sometimes a matic can be just as fun as a manual, it depends on the transmission. Some transmissions are really boring, while some transmissions constantly remind you they're working by shifting into the next gear a bit more firmly.

If you're a new driver, a manual is the way to go. Kasi if you get a matic kagad, masasanay ka dun masyado. IMO when you learn to drive a stick, and you shift to matics, you have no problems. But if you start with a matic, and then shift to driving stick, usually you'll forget to step on the clutch and stall the engine. Don't ask how I know
