    Well kuya, remember the first time youve driven AT coming from MT? For me it was a box type going to a 97 lancer was heaven sent for me in 90s, lalo na that first long traffic, Which was dasma to coastal road that time.

    Mas ok ang MT, pero gusto ko na mag CVT dahil sa traffic dito sa bansa natin.

    although AT have advantages and most of the car owners on the metro prefer AT and CVT because of the traffic. I would take the good old manual anyday. As for me living in the province, I enjoy driving MT rather than the AT

    People get surprised when I say I drive a manual. Is driving a manual really that rare nowadays?

    Kumokonti na talaga

    Dahil sa traffic din kasi, nakasanayan nalang ng mga tao na irecommend yung matic, kaya kahit yung mga first time car owners (majority millenials) nag oopt na sa matic. lalo na yung walang driving experience pa talaga.

    And medyo may kasalanan din konti ang car industry. Yung mga pizzas nasa TOTL variants, yung manual variants more often than not, napaka bare hehe.

    Or sadyang takot lang yung new generation sa stick shift nyahahaha. who knows.

    What amazes me more is that there are people who don't know how to drive a manual. Are there driving schools who use A/T only vehicles?

    More often than not mga driving schools offers both.

    What's kinda weird is mas mahal ang rate for AT Lessons as opposed sa MT. Roughly 3k-5k php yung price difference.

    I am technically a millenial. I know how to change a flat tire. I can also do other simple things such as oil change and changing the bulbs on my old GLi etc. I've been washing cars since 11 years old. I wasn't raised to be a "princess"

    It's just hard for women to change a flat tire lalo na pag naka skirt at heels. May ibang babe din malamya kaya di kaya magbuhat ng gulong.

    When I went to driving school, there was an option to pick a car... MT or AT.

    Degrees of comparison
    Worser
    Worsest
    More better
    Bestest



    BTT

    The way we shift car transmission has evolved from manual transmission, to automatic transmission, to CVT to electric drive and now autonomous cars. The driving will soon be done by computers aided by GPS and ground guidance. The very reason why driving skills are diminishing.

    Kasi when people say millennial mga 20 somethings. But

    "if you were born between the early 1980’s to the mid-1990’s, you, my friend, are a millennial. This group of people was named ‘millennials’ as people realised they would be the first graduating class of 2000 – the new millennium"

    Pasok sa millennial HAHAHA
