'matic vs manual

[Push]

sirs,

ano ba ang mas okey, 'matic o manual na kotse?

dami sigurong mga factors to consider, reliability, ease/comfort, fuel consumption, maintenance, etc.

assuming i would not mind driving a manual transmission car, am i missing a lot from an automatic?

salamat po.


mods, paki-lock na lang ng thread kung meron ng ganitong topic...

pag manual, mas controlado mo yung pag takbo mo sa car (like making it reach the red line before shifting up, as well as engine breaking. mas tipid ka rin sa fuel. pag tumirik, pwede itulak para magstart ulit unlike sa matic.


pero sa traffic natin sa kalsada, mas ginhawa talaga mag matic!

my 2 cents. :mrgreen:

Kung medyo hindi ka magaling magmaneho, mas mahirap sirain ang A/T kasi mas simple ito and walang clutch to burn or foul up.

[ephraim]

bakit mas mahirap sirain??? yun pa ang term na ginamit mo :mrgreen: malaking ginhawa yan sa trapik pero mas malakas nga lang ang fuel consumption mo.

If you want better fuel economy, engine control --> manual
If you want convenience --> matic
If you want convenience with some control --> InvecsIII !!!!!

Ang matic sealed against water (sa Sentra ng kapatid ko, yung breather ng A/T nasa tabi na ng brake master cylinder).

Hindi ka pwedeng mag-'clutch driving' sa matic (walang clutch, eh).

Walang misshifts, walang overrevs.

Fuel consumption does not differ much from a similar M/T model wag lang mabigat ang right foot.

boring mag-drive ng AT, pero pag MT hindi kasi may pa shift shift ka pang nalalaman... :wink:

pero convinient ang AT... :wink:

gaya ng mga replies, depende kung gusto mo ba ng "power on demand" or "convenience." And bored din ako kung A/T kaya M/T pinili ko.
