manual or automatic

[Alpha_One]

City driving: AT, other than that MT.

But, how about the semi-automatic nga naman? Like the latest Civic (don't know which variant) has this shifts on the steering wheel. I have not driven these but if I get the message correct - you can just leave it there if you want the machine to shift it for you (automatic) but you can still control it if you so desire. Mukha naman na na-address na yung needs ng parehong type of driver. Tama ba assumption ko mga kapatid?

Semi-autos aren't exactly the "best of both worlds" either. Mainly for two reasons:

-If you wanted to control the shifting by yourself, what's the purpose of getting an automatic?

-More importantly, the tranny itself often decides that you're hurting it and will override your shifts in "manual" mode. Which defeats the purpose of the "manual" mode.

They aren't perfect.
