Should I Buy Manual Transmission Car or Automatic Transmission Car?

A manual transmission, also known as a manual gearbox or standard transmission (informally, a "manual", "straight shift", "stick (shift)", or "straight drive") is a type of transmission used in motor vehicle applications. It generally uses a driver-operated clutch, typically operated by a pedal or lever, for regulating torque transfer from the internal combustion engine to the transmission, and a gear stick, either operated by hand (as in a car) or by foot (as on a motorcycle).

A conventional manual transmission is frequently the base equipment in a car; other options include automated transmissions such as an automatic transmission (often a manumatic), a semi-automatic transmission, or a continuously variable transmission (CVT).

Are you are a person that loves and enjoy driving car? If you are, I think you should get a manual car instead of automatic car. I think driving a manual car is more fun than driving an automatic car because you have to keep changing the gear, it also will keep you from getting sleepy while driving a manual car.

One of the reason why I like driving manual car is because you get to control the engine and speed of the car. For example, if you are driving in a top speed and you have to slow down in a very short period of time because of some obstacles in front, manual car would be much easier and faster to slow down since you can switch gear on your own. Also, when you are driving a manual car you get to save petrol much more than driving an automatic car if you know how to change the gear smoothly.

If you are going to buy a good sports car like Mitsubishi, Lamborghini or Porsche, I would really recommend you to get a manual car. Because you can enjoy the quality of the sport car like its acceleration, handling with a manual transmission much more than an automatic transmission.

An automatic gearbox is one type of motor vehicle transmission that can automatically change gear ratios as the vehicle moves, freeing the driver from having to shift gears manually. Most automatic transmissions have a defined set of gear ranges, often with a parking pawl feature that locks the output shaft of the transmission.

Similar but larger devices are also used for heavy-duty commercial and industrial vehicles and equipment. Some machines with limited speed ranges or fixed engine speeds, such as some forklifts and lawn mowers, only use a torque converter to provide a variable gearing of the engine to the wheels.

I think automatic transmission car is good for drivers that just drive for the sake of traveling only, because it is much more relax and easier to drive than a manual car. Automatic car is also suitable for elderlies or ladies, who might have difficulties or do not feel comfortable with driving a manual car.

There are also some people who tends to get nervous easily when they are driving on the road, so automatic car will also be suitable for them. When you are nervous you may not be able to change gear smoothly and also stepping or letting go the clutch properly, this may also result in accident.

In conclusion, I think automatic car is the easy mode or way of driving compare to a manual car.
