RE: City AT - yes, it really is that efficient. Of course, it feels something like a golf cart while accelerating...

Manual or Automatic? Having driven both, I'd say I still prefer the manual, even in traffic. If you've learned how to effectively "creep" in first or second gear, driving a manual in traffic isn't too bad. And it helps save your brakes from wear, lessens engine bay heat (from the torque converter sloshing through the ATF) and costs less to maintain.

Plus, it saves gas when you drive aggressively, too, no transmission lag or hesitation forcing you to put your foot to the floor, and no unnecessary upshifting or downshifting in other situations... of course, newer ATs and CVTs are much better, but I still prefer a stick. (Though I'd take a CVT for traffic driving any time)

RE: AT disposable? If you're driving a ten year old secondhand japanese car, with the budget of a person who would buy such car... the cost of overhauling is such that this is what most people do... they just swap in a surplus tranny. Much cheaper.

i drive both. but i still prefer manual lalo na kung kotse ang dala ko. mas fulfilling mag drive ng manual eh.. siguro sa preference lang talaga ng driver yan. if you don't mind less mileage to your fuel consumption pwede na ang matic. imo, di na biro ang presyo ng gas ngayon, kaya i'm a little biased towards m/t.

[bajumbo]

or started with a manual for a couple of years, moved to matic for a couple of years, then used manual for a couple of days...kinabukasan, subconsciously na naghahanap ng clutch pedal sa matic na kotse! bwahahahahaa. happened to me na yan.

Hahahahahaha.... Guilty!!!!!!!!!
Hahahahahahahaha "Bkit ayaw kumagat nung clutch" ay matic pala hahahahaha...

Mas gusto ko manual, mas tipid konti sa gas consumption, mas masusulit ang power ng makina, at pwede push start pag naubos o nadiskarga ang battery

[Bogeyman]

mas fulfilling mag drive ng manual eh..

Hell, yeah. I think driving a manual helps to keep me awake behind the wheel, especially on late night trips home.

[tek101]

automatic for me if ang bibilhin ko is brand new.....kung 2nd hand naman, manual, lalo na kung hindi mo kakilala ang bibilhan mo.

I drive both, I find the matic boring. Control freak kasi ako hehehe kaya gusto ko manual. Pero pag SUV matic, I don't get inspired driving an SUV anyway (no offense to SUV owners).

One concern about matics is the electronics. We all know how durable the electronics are compared to the mechanicals. One less thing to break down for the manual tranny.

Manual or Matic?

Depending on the car, the day of the week or destination. City driving on a Sunday using a decent manual car is fun, on a weekday, especially during rush hours - nothing beats the matic. Matic's alot more controllable and responsive in 'stop and go' situation. Of course I'm talking about toyota's matic, it a bit diff. with the Civic or maybe other brands.

Hiway driving's not much of a difference, well at least with my driving style. I'll be more concerned on how much torque the engine has than it's transmission.

Sa katulad kong nandito sa probinsiya na napakaluwang ang kalsada, walang katrapik-trapik at sa hatinggabi ang byahe paluwas ng Manila idagdag mo pang walang mekaniko ng mga matic dito, sa manual syempre.

[20vanda01]

Sawa na ako sa manual, kakapagod.
For a car doesn't really matter if you're driving an A/T or M/T specially as a daily drive in the Metro. Not advisable, but with an A/T tranny you can use your left foot also, hehehe
One thing more I like about tranny is that after a drive through from a fast food chain, I can eat my burger, drink my soda with no sweat and no worry about changing gears, hehehe (again)

[cocoy]

real men drive manual... heheh

[denier13]

kung CVT, ok! kasi ang ayaw ko sa conventional na AT is the low fuel consumption!

[EUREKA]

before manual talaga want ko...but now i'm leaning more on the matic. mas relax ka and you don't tire as much compared to driving a manual. peace! ;)

[Galactus]

I drive both, for but I'll choose a matic anytime...

Mas maingat din ako pag A/T dala ko, kasi pag nasira, malaki ang gagastusin ko...

[cocoy]

i like manual first and foremost, i just feel really in controll and feel conected to the car.... guess thats just me,,,

[swimstroke]

Kung mostly city driving, automatic para hindi gaanong pagod. :D

[Sarsi]

manual

[cyrusblutrooper]

i'll stick to STICK but i consider also CVT(tiptronic, steptronic, etc...)
