Question about buying a car

[Mobilizer]

Should I go automatic or manual?

 

Any pros and cons of either?

[Enderman]

do you even know how to drive manual?

 

because if you did i'm pretty sure you would be able to answer your own question

[Mobilizer]

do you even know how to drive manual?

 

Nope

Auto is better for daily driving in traffic imo. Manuals are more fun, but get old when you commute 25 miles each way in traffic. Trust me on that.

[Swndlr]

Nope

Then dont lmao

Or learn, nothing wrong with learning, its not hard, hell Im 15 and I can do it.

[TacticlTwinkie]

Nope

It's pretty easy to learn.

Manual is a bit tricky to learn, but overall it is good to learn in a manual and get a manual licence even if you intend to drive an auto car. Its a good skill to have for sure. 

[Enderman]

Nope

ok then dont get manual unless you want to get someone to teach you or you pay for lessons

its more work to drive

you need to know what youre doing, its not like an automatic where you get in the car and you know how to drive it

Yup I planned on learning if I decide to go with it.

Auto is the best for daily driving manual is only good for when you have open roads and want to have fun.

Newer year car, auto.... older year like 90's go manual5

[Mobilizer]

Welp, auto it is.

Auto if u want a smooth ride

 

Manual if u wanna rev (but sooner or later you will be bored with it)

Manual when driven well will give you better fuel economy.

 

If you don't know how a transmission functions, learning to drive manual is a pain.

 

If you know how a clutch works when shifting gears, operating it with your foot is quite easy to learn.

Learn how to drive stick. Like really. You'll appreciate the skill down the line. Makes driving much easier, and give your WAY better control (especially in winter).

This is a shitpost.

 

You can still get a perfectly smooth ride in a manual, it just takes practice. And if you drive/buy a stick purely to "rev" then you're an idiot.

 

OP, driving stick is a very useful skill, and makes driving a much more controllable, and engaging experience. And it becomes second nature, to the point where it's just as easy as an auto.

You guys have to have a specific license for manual driving?

Not going to lie. For a daily driver, auto is just nicer.

 

I'm a car guy, but driving a manual can be annoying as shit if you already don't feel like driving, auto is easier to driver for longer distances, especially in the city.

 

Note, im not in any way a casual driver who's just saying auto for lyfe. I'm restoring a '67 impala (auto), and currently working on repairing my totaled '01 nsx (manual). The auto is just easier.
