[SIZE=7]Which is the best "Manual or Automatic"??[/SIZE]

We want to buy a new car and i prefer automatic...my wife disagree and likes manual transmission!! What i know about latest automatic transmission is far more better than the old automatic!

Any suggestion! Please help!!!!!

[margaux]

for girls and people who just learned how to drive (like me)..... i prefer AT or CVT
for guys.....any of the two...
well, I am learning manual as of the moment ... :lol:

[nugundam93]

cvt is actually the best. :D

pero oks pa rin manual for high-performance cars.

[margaux]

yeah....CVT is still the best.....surely, no need to worry for gear hunting.

[nugundam93]

yup, and the engine is always in the "sweet spot" where power output is maximized. the problem lang nga with CVTs eh not much applications for a high-output and/or high-rev engine, save for that 1994 williams-renault F1 racecar CVT prototype which got banned and never got out of prototype status.

Kung pang-araw-araw sa traffic, matic na ako.

[margaux]

yeah, I agree .....if you're routine most of the time is within the city, use the matic....:D

[verano]

why not buy both...
matic - daily
manual - weekend

[margaux]

pasaway... :lol:

newbie question po. kailan ba dapat ginagamit ang low gears ng matic? during inclined roads ba? mas steep mas lower gear? or kaya na sya ng D? thanks!

Pag paakyat or pababa, or pag kailangan mo ng engine braking. Ung paakyat, most of the time kaya na ng D. You will be able to tell naman pag nahihirapan makina. If so, switch to lower.

Manual is my vote, I love to be more involved in driving, and keep higher rpms whenever I want to imagine myself a racedriver.

I can also do that in Sports mode of my AT car.

I totally agree) Many modern automatic transmissions allow a faster acceleration. And nothing can be more comfortable than automatic on a daily driver.
Automatic transmission has to be maintained from time to time and you need to change the oil in it. It's not difficult though and you can check basic how-to instruction in this article: How To Perform An Automatic Transmission Fluid & Filter Service

No fun moves like heel toeing. [emoji106] my vote goes to manual. Cheaper to maintain as well.

It is not fun driving in city traffic.

Please do enlighten me, between EDSA rush hour driving and cruising on the highway, when exactly do you use heel and toe?

And aside from cheap sports cars like the 86 and MX5, most of today's affordable manuals have pedal placements unsuitable for heel and toe because the pedal height for the brake is much higher than the accelerator.

Heck, I drive mountain roads on a regular basis, and don't find the need to use heel and toe - you can always brake then rev match separately, after all, noone is timing you.

Have automatic transmissions dethroned manuals as the fuel-economy kings? | TopGear PH

as an aside,
if fuel economy is your thing,
don't look at the transmission box.
look at the engine and the body.
