manual or automatic

[VtEC]

Been an A/T user since 2002 with our starex and CRV. I just shifted back to M/T with our Everest and Ranger. Feeling ko kasi dun starex A/T, parang parati ubos and disc pads, kasi yung driver namin, parati nakaapak sa brake kahit naka stop sa traffic light, ayaw man lang ilagay sa Neutral. Parati ko sinasabihan pero parati nakakalimutan, hard habit to break, ika nga.

i prefer the matic sa traffic conditions but i also love the manual sa expressway.bout your driver, ask him to use the handbrake instead of the brake while on a full stop.

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..

mas madali ang maintenance ng manual.

sa matic naman be sure to check weekly yung ATF mo. sabi nung mekaniko eh dapat 10 minutes mong pa-andarin ang sasakyan from cold bago mo check ang level ng ATF, be sure your looking at the HOT level. :kick:

most likely, ATF level should be checked during engine running...

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.
