with this horrible traffic we have everyday! MATIC!

Depends on the vehicle actually. Some matics are really slugish and boring to drive.

If acceleration is good, I prefer MATIC.

if you live or will be driving through in a high traffic area... you might want to consider automatic tranny.

Daily driver, city driving, and you don't mind (a bit) lower gasoline mileage?

Matic.

(But then again, it'll all boil down to passion driving vs. comfort driving)...

My cousin before had this dilema so to settle the score we went for a good test drive of both variants. It was one of the best ways to make that crucial choice.

Nothing beats hands on evaluation because we all have different driving styles and habits.

This way you can decide if an automatic is sluggish or not.

how about fuel consumption and maintenance? is it true n kpag nasira ang automatic...bye bye tranny na?

manual para less maintenance and better FC

Whoever said that should be hanged! Upside down that is hehe.

First time I heard of a disposable tranny and there is no such thing.

What is a fact though is that compared to a manual, an AT will cost more to repair.
