For some people, the question of whether to buy a vehicle with an automatic transmission or a manual transmission comes up. Each of these choices have both their advantages and disadvantages. If you don’t know how to drive a manual however, don’t buy a car with a manual transmission. If you don’t know what you’re doing, chances are you won’t even be able to move the car 2 feet without it stalling on you. I recommend that you have someone who does know how to drive a manual teach you first before you buy this type of car. Depending on your situation, you should choose your transmission based on the following information:
Why You Should By an Automatic:
-Easier to operate, especially while in traffic. You simply have to lift your foot off of the brake in order to make the car move, as opposed to having to depress the clutch and having to put the car in gear each time you stop and go.
-You are able to have both hands on the steering wheel at all times.
-These types of cars are much easier to learn and get used to.
Why You Should By a Manual:
-If you know what you are doing, it can be useful to have full control over your vehicle’s gears. For example, this gives you more control while at high speeds and also while trying to negotiate steep hills.
-Vehicles with manual transmissions are always cheaper than their automatic counter parts.
-Manuals, in the hands of an experienced driver, have been proven to be around 10% more fuel efficient than automatics of the same vehicle type
-In terms of performance, manuals are also significantly quicker than automatics because you are able to choose precisely how much power you want to apply to the road.
