Which Transmission Would You Prefer?

Which Transmission would you prefer? Not based off of what you think would be better for everyone, but which would be best for you. For me I drive an automatic, but I'm thinking of switching to a Manual Transmission car. I think they are more fun in my opinion. I don't know, that just my thought process. So which would you prefer?

I prefer a manual but the car we have now is an automatic. I still struggle to remember to put it in park and I keep reaching for the shifter. Fortunately, I have not been stomping on the brake (accidentally) while pushing in the imaginary clutch but my right hand still feels like it needs to be doing something...




ETA: I also think a manual is more fun.

I've only ever driven a automatic, but we have talked about out next vehicle being a manual.

I'm a quick learner, so I shouldn't have any trouble.

I had a hard time learning from my dad or my husband. I was still a teenager but it's something about the relationship, I think. My father-in-law (former driving instructor) successfully taught me the basics but then I just got to drive across the town that we worked in for practice. It's so much easier when you don't have someone more experienced sitting in the passenger seat.

I'm a quick learner too. Sometimes I imagine my car is a stick shift when I'm driving places.

I pretend I'm in a race car.

Do you actually go through the motions?

When I'm alone in the car.

I'm eager to actually learn and hopefully get one one within the 6-12 months. It's going to take time I know that for sure.

Daily driver needs to be an auto. Hard to eat a burger while driving in a manual.

Manual transmission is for sport/fun/offroad. My motorcycle's transmission is manual (obviously) and that's enough on-road fun for me.

Do you make 'Changing gear noises'??

Sometimes.

I am SOOOOOOOO giggling at this right now

I can't help it. I feel like if I get a car with a manual transmission that I would have more of a rush.

Not if you're talented enough.





I wonder if it makes a huge difference for where you're driving. I've never lived in a city so I've usually had to drive a windy highway road full of idiots and tourists to pass. I could see how driving a manual would be annoying in constant stop-and-go traffic.
