auto vs manual debate

[STEALTHY™]

True, the debate has sort of turned into manual being an art to drive, I just dont thik its that hard, we'll try for ten pages but, for a laugh if not anything else:yeah:

Wow, all that just cause someone said 'its an art to drive manual well'.

If your bro is that good and can match revs, get him to change gears without the clutch. Then we'll see how 'easy' it is

I like driving both.:thumbsup:

Love manuals. Hate Autos. Its just what i prefer to drive. I'm pretty handy on the gear changes, and even convinced someone my car had a shiftkit i changed so fast


I'll never ever buy an auto, unless that model doesn't come out in a manual, with every intention of having it converted.
Along with that, when ever i see a drag time, i only ever take notice of the people who made their time with a manual. Anything with an auto is for picking up the shopping in my eyes.

Same here, love manuals and dislike bordering hate autos (can't hate them atm because i have one)!

Sadly i had to buy an auto vehicle, stupid Holden not making Supercharged vehicles manual. Now i've got the work of modifying it. Already got the manual gearbox Just gotta get off my ass to do the rest.

Having driven both i do prefer the control of the manuals. You are in control and dont have any lagging. With a manual there is none of this "Power Mode" crap, it's shift when you need to not when the system thinks it should (yes i know you can do a manual shift with autos, but it's not quite the same and in most vehicles the auto boxes are still 4 speed).

meh im not really biased, i love driving both...

But I'm going to use stay with an auto because I'm just to lazy to drive a manual everyday, and besides why drive a manual everyday and get sick of it when i can just drive my mates cars? lol


I will admit i was using my brothers corolla about a yr ago, and a manual in a 4cylinder is a must for having fun, light little car + manual + rwd = fun fun fun lol

If thats the case then Im done here. **** off troll. :wave:

F**k Off troll, well, who getting worked up now?, god help you if you ever get into a powerful car, because that will probably take you about 600 years to master if driving manual takes that long to learn!

Mate, seriously , have you got a real challenge or are you just being funny, I'm no pro driver and I learnt a ranger 15spd without the clutch in a couple of days, give me ANY car, and I'll change up and down clutchless, not even listening to the engine, just by the feel of the box. Just taaap it in, just taaaap it in!!!! Anyway, this is getting boring, till the next thread,:wave::sleeping:

Hehe, give it a little taaap....

You guys will agree that in the end it's a personal preference. Having said that you do have to be more skilled to drive a manual. Take my mom for example. She was trying to learn a manual car when getting her license but failed at driving, looking down when changing gear, failing hill starts, grinding gears.... She switched to an auto, and passed her license the first time.
