I like how the engine on an automatic stays in high RPM way too long before shifting up, or the 5 second delay before down shifting when you press the accelerator, it's fun to feather the accelerator to get the appropriate gear for my speed

Who told you that, your 60 year driving instructor? Automatics have been more efficient for a long time now.

Autos have no engine braking. I mean, they do a little but it's non existent compared to what you can do in a standard vehicle. Way better for driving in snow too

Automatic transmissions use more gas than a manual trans, since you can't control the engine's rpm (some premium cars are more efficient fuel-wise though), it's also cheaper to buy AND to maintain.

Another guy with a CVT and it's great and I don't worry about repairs, because I will sell it way before the warranty ends.

Although CVT is only good for city econobox cars, gives very good mileage. If you are buying a decent cars a manual or double clutch is a must. Because there is no fun having any kind of automatic in a 300+hp car.

>>56231934
A standard automatic transmission is shit compared to a manual. CVTs are shit period and you should never buy one. However, dual clutch transmissions are arguably better all around than manuals.

>>56234369
i mean a double clutch is technically an automatic even if it is mechanically more similar to a manual

as someone with a manual, double clutch and torque converter gearbox in my cars right now, all can be very good but you want to pay a good amount of money for a decent auto where as most manuals are pretty good no matter what

i find cvts kind of boring though.

for anyone with car knowledge all my cars are turbo charged, wouldnt having a turbo on a cvt be kind of pointless with the distributed powerbands?

>>56234437
>i mean a double clutch is technically an automatic
It technically only takes the clutch pedal out of the equation, you should still shit manually.

>most manuals are pretty good no matter what
Most manuals are shit, you will know when you drive a good manual. And by good manual I mean carbon clutch, short shifter and mechanical gas pedal.

>wouldnt having a turbo on a cvt be kind of pointless with the distributed powerbands?
My CVT is turbo too, it works actually better than anything, because CVT keeps constant RPM, so you never lose the pressure. The only downside is the initial takeoff, which takes forever, because you have both the turbo lag and the transmission lag.

it was slow as shit but it got great mpgees. It just couldn't handle having to bring it in for major repairs every 30k even if it was under warranty. When I asked why they couldn't just fix the solenoid in the first failed tranny they told me that If something has fail on the cvt, it is likely that the other parts were stressed as well. Its easier for them to remove and replace rather than disassemble, repair, reassemble, and reinstall only to have you come back because every thing looked to be in spec but it wasn't really.

When I asked about the overheating issue they said that it's a common issue and there isn't really a fix for it other than a new cvt.

Ready for the same old tired arguments?
All together now:
-A manual transmission is more fuel efficient, check any model with both options available, very, very few will have a more efficient auto.
-A manual transmission can still be quite driveable with a smaller engine(important for poorfags)
-A manual transmission is mechanically simpler(eg automatics have at least 3 clutches and a torque converter, compared to the one required for a manual) This has so many advantages in of itself.
-Manual transmission provide more control over the vehicle.
-Manual transmissions allow you to prepare the car for the road and situation ahead, automatics can only respond to the road they are currently driving along.

The only advantage automatics have over manuals is when buying second hand cars sometimes a bad previous driver can have trashed the clutch and loosened the drive chain, automatics tend to be less damaged by shitforbrains drivers.

I personally prefer the feel of a manual and working on automatics sucks. If you prefer driving an automatic, good on you but just don't talk shit to make yourself feel better about it OK?

Sage goes in the options field.

>>56234890
-Modern automatics are more efficient than manuals
-Automatics are still easier than any manual
-Very few people actually take transmissions apart for any reason. I've stripped several very different engines down to the block, but I won't open up a transmission.

>>56233248
>Automatic transmissions use more gas

Not anymore. Virtually all automatics on most decent (non-cheap) cars equal the fuel economy of their standard counterparts.

>it's also cheaper to buy AND to maintain
In most cars I looked at when I was buying a new car, the price difference was only between $400-$800.

And that money is easily made up with the resale value. in the US standards have lower resale value than autos for most consumer level cars, save for specific cars enthusiasts with the "manual = better" mindset go after like WRX, BMWs etc.

Obviously manual is preferrable for offroading for a lot of reasons. And obviously, offroading and highway driving are two very different use cases.

>>56231934
Actually the manual has less moving parts and many more years of robust development. It is much more reliable.

Many professorial drives prefer manual, not just for control, but some comment that it forces them to focus more on the road as the have to anticipate what gear to shit to and the only way to do that is to look ahead on the road.

Because the driver can anticipate the cars needs before they happen they can shift into the needed settings. While that action is slower and less efficient, the overall time spent in optimum gear is higher. So the overall efficiency is actually higher.

Given the lack of knowledgeable users and the lower market value association, it arguably can count as a theft deterrent.

The recent rise in price is only due to market share drop, if they were more common then the cost would be much lower then automatics. And their lower cost of maintenance also must be considered.


Basically this post is wrong under nearly every condition, with the exception of an new uneducated driver, and if they are that green they shouldn't be on the road.

Except for normal every day driving. Right now cvts are just too fucking fragile. They dont like any sort of heat and most cvts right now simulate gear shifts because normies can't wrap their head around seamless varible shifting. The simulated shift cause slippage which causes friction on the belt that heats up the tranny. They'll be the bees knee in the future but right now they are in the r&d stage using consumers for data collection.

I don't give a fuck either way. I get 445 miles per tank and I'm comfy. Manual transmission is only for toys imo. Something to ay with on the weekend or nice days off of work. Daily driver? I just want comfort, mpg, leg room. Doesn't hurt if the car looks sharp as well.

You'll probably want someone who already knows to go with you, at least in the beginning. Start out in a parking lot or something similar and just get used to starting and stopping. Taking off from a stop is the hardest part of driving a manual, especially on a hill. Once you feel confident doing that, start learning to shift while driving. That part is pretty easy, you just have to know when to shift. Eventually you'll get to the point where you can tell when to shift by ear. Once you've got starting and stopping and shifting down you've pretty much got it.

Ford web:
>Automatic:
27 city/40 highway/31 combined - available 6-speed Powershift® automatic
26 city/38 highway/30 combined - available 6-speed Powershift® automatic with SelectShift® capability
28 city/40 highway/32 combined - available 1.0L EcoBoost® I-3 with auto start stop technology, 6-Speed automatic with SelectShift® capability and SE EcoBoost® Appearance Package

>Manual:

So you're right if you compare a 5 speed manual vs 6 speed automatic but with the same number of speeds manuals still win probably 9 out of 10 times.

An automatic doesn't have a clutch to shift gears, all he has to is stomp on the gas and he's out of there.

OH FUCK!

Is it bad to not shift down gears? Like, instead of going 3 -> 2 -> 1 -> stop, I just step on the clutch and shift the gear to 1 until I stop. I know it's bad for high speed and bad terrain, but why is it like that? And what is the right way to do it?

>>56241029
My god I hope your not down shifting. Look kid, every time you press the clutch you are taking time off it. Pressing in the clutch and holding it does not take time off it. Being in gear does not unless you are abusing it. Only during that moment when the clutch disengages and engages it taking off it.

If you are coming to a stop, just press the cluch in and hold it there as you break. If you are slowing down due to traffic, press it and just coast in neutral until you are at the gear you need, unless just letting off the gas is what you need. You should always be going to the gear you want and not cycling through gears. That is literally killing your clutch and your enjoyment of driving a manual.

>>56241029
If you're coming to a stop, you don't need to downshift, unless you're riding a bike of course. You shouldn't be pressing on the clutch unnecessarily like above, but you should also not be unnecessarily holding down the clutch as well, because you won't have full control over your vehicle in an emergency situation.

I think it depends on where you live and age. In the Midwest I think at least half of men can drive manual. More if you're over 30 and less if you're under 30.

>>56241122
I can not see that last part really being a problem. Perhaps im above average in my abilities but I would never or have ever had a problem finding the gear I want in a fraction of a second. Im usually positioned to go in to the gear I want immediately after going out of gear.

Not to mention that if you area already in neutral you are half a step closer to downshifting or breaking if said emergency happens. I dont know of any emergencies were driving at the current rate and maintaining high MPG happen in a split second.

>>56241238
Yes but the people who can drive manuals in the midwest dont steal cars. Niggers do and they cant drive and shift at the same time.

>>56241238
Is this related to the lower rate of crime simply because smarter individuals aren't petty criminals?

>>56234267
Exactly this. The auto one has always higher consumption

You mean "manual", right?

>>56241239
You're at a red light at the bottom of a fairly steep hill. A truck's compression brakes fail, it's now barrelling towards you at least 80km/h, maybe 100km/h, maybe more. That's an easy example situation where a split second counts. There are many other unexpected situations, which is why you should follow the best possible practice and always try to improve, because those situations are just that: unexpected.

>>56241073
holding the clutch puts undue stress on the throw out bearing and increases the differential in flywheel vs, input shaft speed leading to a bigger shock when the clutch is released, shifting to neutral and releasing the clutch is the god tier way to coast stop.

Also heal and toe technique folded over 1000x for minimal clutch wear and shock when downshifting.
>break
nvm

driving through heavy traffic, or driving uphill with multiple red lights on the way, or parking in a tight spot.

all much easier to do in automatic. i dont want to strain my leg or back just because some fast&furious 17 y.o fan on the internet thinks manual is cool

>>56241412
That would be a situation where you would be sitting in first in clutch neutral and half a second away from being in reverse or making other emergency maneuvers. The last possible thing you want to be in that situation is in true neutral and you certainly dont want to be in gear at a stop. So I think that would be a very poor example why you dont want to be in clutch neutral.

>>56241419
Throwout bearings rarely go out these days and are usually due to flaws and not wear. As for shoch, that will always be compensated for by knowing your rpms.

>>56241534
True enough. If I had to do heavy traffic and frequent redlights then I would probably not drive a manual on those days. Benefit of living in the midwest, we dont have much of that.

>>56241534
Why cant americans shut up about things they don't know?
Do you think you need concentration while driving in manual? Even if you're a woman it just takes one month to get used to it and your brain will do all the work

>>56241616
He didnt mention concentration you fucking illiterate. Why cant eurotrash shut up about languages they don't know?

Unless you hadn't come to a full stop yet, of course. That was just an illustration though, as I said you should be prepared for unexpected situations.

>>56241616
Correct plus i feel like a total dumbass while driving automatic after driving a manual transmission for the first half of my life.

Why do yuropoors have such a superiority complex?

Why do they constantly compare themselves to america?

This will always be my favourite argument, shit knuckleheads who can't drive manuals, shouldn't drive at all.

Then you would still be in clutch neutral and poised. I must be missing your point or something because this seams to be a revolving door.

>>56241742
So is German, Italian, French etc, of which one must be your first language. Then again, you could just be stupid. Take your pick.

>>56241791
Being stupid is usually already occupied by americans.

>>56241767
No, you shouldn't be in clutch, you should be in gear.

>>56241909
Not when you are slowing down for a stop. Using your transmission to break is a bad idea. If you are pressing the break, you should not be in gear. that puts wear on your clutch. You should not be downshifting to use your clutch as a break either, also puts wear on your clutch. Its the exact opposite spectrum of popping your clutch.

aut/o/fag reporting.

>unreliable
absolute bullshit. Automatic transmissions fail far more often.

>huge distraction from driving
Not really. It actually helps to keep your mind in driving and be aware of the car's current condition.

>fuel inefficient
that depends on the driver's skill. If you have no idea what you're doing and switch gears too son, yes.

>insecure and easier to steal
who the fuck would steal a transmission. If you mean the car, it makes no difference.
Also, statistics show automatic transmissions make old people have more car accidents than manual ones.
Manual: the car might slow down or stop if you faint/have a seizure.
Automatic: the car might speed up out of control if you faint/have a seizure.

>expensive
automatic transmissions are way more expensive for obvious reasons (more complex machinery, more parts, etc). The cheapest manual transmission will cost you about 200 bucks, while automatics will cost you around 500. Replacing it is also harder, so mechanics charge more.

They don't.
The Objective BEST Supercars are real manual+FR

Because the only real Hypercars are hybrids.

you immediately notice something is not right with manual, also y have an old car so I learned to make the changes by sound, I feel more "connected" with the car

im not an american. i live in a country full of hills and elevations. shitty planning of settlements means a red light every few kilometers (in the country side!), and heavy traffic of trucks that drive to industrial sites and mineral mines.

No they don't unless they're DCTs or some advanced BMW shit. In any other car you can feel the delay in shifts if you have working sensory capabilities. Modern automatics use CVTs and don't need to shift at all.

Manual will always give you mechanical linkage to the wheels which is awesome if you know how to drive. Sorry that you're a huge insulated piece of shit who thinks driving his moms automatic with 4 speed selector is the pinnacle of driving.

With that many houses you might as well build upward instead of outward. Then you can focus on the greenery around 1 tower, much better nature than 1 tree per yard. We're heading in that direction anyway, kind of like Warhammer Hive Cities (but without the hierarchy). You can just get everything else outside of the hive. Much greener too
