I've been driving stick ever since i knew how to drive and kelan lang ako nag shift sa a/t almost 2 yrs na.

Personally, i prefer driving stickshift pa rin and i think there's more interaction between the car and the driver sa m/t because almost all of your body parts are moving. I don't mind it at all kahit masakit buto buto ko at sore muscles kasi mas may adrenaline rush at excitement sa m/t compared to a/t. I just got more lazy nung a/t na ang tsikot ko hehe..

Sinabi mo. Not to mention mas madali sumingit if it's indeed traffic at mas madali ilusot sa long drive due to throttle responsiveness.

I've been driving a manual for 15 years now. Drove my first matic in 2000, and got so disgusted that I went back to manual afterwards.

IMHO, there's just not enough control over your speed and acceleration, and not enough torque in most low-end Japanese gasoline engines to take advantage of the AT's longer gearing.

For diesels, though, it's another story... I have no problem driving a diesel automatic. Kaya nga bibili... hehehe.

I have had the exact same sentiment -- for over a decade. I think most people na pro-AT should learn MT first and drive at least a medium-HP sedan. hehehe.

Pero tama ka din in that torquey vehicles like diesels, and great AT's like Prodrive and CVT's are a nice compromise. I'm just wondering if all sportshifts are like the prodrive na halos walang lag between stepping on the gas and moving forward?

For control though, MT pa din!

Seryoso. I guess thats one of the disadvantages of driving an automatic
