Are You Driving An Auto Car Or Manual Car? And Do You Prefer Auto Or Manual Car?

Hello JamesKYTan, I learn to drive with a manual car. After I get my driving license, I bought a manual car as my family all are driving a manual car. I drive manual car for more than 6 years already. My first time driving on an auto car was happen early of this year. I borrow my sister's car which is a auto car. My sister teach me how to drive her car verbally, she said if I know how to drive manual car, then it shouldn't be a problem for me to drive auto car. She taught me the function of D for driving, P for parking and R for reverse and N for neutral. It was not a good try for me. I drove the car carefully and SLOWLY! I found that it was so tough to drive a auto car . I returned the car to my sister after I went to the post office nearby. I told her I never want to drive a auto car again, it was so hard for me. My sister was like so shock to hear what I say and she keep asking me what was the problem. I then told her I could not control well on both my legs as my left leg is placed on the break pedal and my right leg is on the drive pedal. My sister laugh out loud and told me auto car need only 1 leg to drive! Oh my! She never tell me this when she borrow the car for me . I was so blur about that, but I felt lucky I able to drive an auto car with both legs and I could able to reach home safely.

Hi there James, First of all, let me tell you a little about myself. I have a driving license for more than a decade now. But I dont drive! It is just too stressful for me. The most I've done is drove down to the nearest grocery shop as I was really needing something urgent then. I have 3 cars at home, one auto, two manuals. All driven only by my husband. So you can imagine, at any one time, there will always be 2 cars left idle there. Still, I dont drive. I am just not born to drive!

i learned driving with a manual car, nd i guess that helps a lot for my knowledge. now i can drive any manual or auto car. i guess it is more important that we learn how to drive a manual car first. now i have a owner type vehicle and it is manual driving. i will teach my nephew too on manual driving. like you said you can drive a manual and an auto car but not all that can drive an auto car can drive a manual one.

I am still taking car lessons and I use a manual car. I think manual cars are better since if you drive a manual you can also drive an auto but if vice versa, it would be difficult to drive a manual car. Apart from that i think that auto waste a lot of fuel so in regards also to expenses, manual are better.

I drive a manual car, here in the UK 90% of people start off driving in a manual car because if you take your test in an automatic then you can only drie an automatic but if you take it in a manual then you can drive both. I dont really like automatic cars i find them lazy, driving a car should be just that, driving. With automatics i dont really feel like you are driving the car and you dont have a smuch control over the engine as opposed to a manual car.

Hi JamesKYTan, i used to drive manual car since my very first day. Now I'm driving manual car which gave by my parents. If I am going to buy a new car for myself, i think I'm going to buy auto, make my life easier. i'm tired of driving manual and stuck in the traffic jam. It's damn tired!!

I drive an automatic. I never learned to drive a manual. My husband on the other hand can drive either. The big show off! LOL Happy mylotting!

I drive a manual because thats what I'm used to. There are probably more manual that auto here in the UK. If you take your driving test in an auto, you can only drive autos but, if you take it in a manual, you can drive either. I've only ever driven an auto once... when the driver broke his ankle and we had to get his car home. I was the 2nd named driver on his insurance.

Dear James, I am still driving my first and only car till to date! It is a manual car. I love it very much. However, I do drive a couple of times an auto car..it is not mine! I think auto car is great when driving long distance and also during heavy traffic congestion A bit slow in 'pick up'...perhaps I am abit bias..LOL since I do not have one! I remembered once when I drove my manual car to fetch my son and also when on the way back. It was a heavy 'standstill' jam plus bumper to bumper jam. My feet and my left arm is so tired and painful....I was thinking just pulled my handbrake and do not be bothered and rest awhile. That's the time when my mind criticised my 'not thoughtful' husband....for not thinking and buying an auto car for me. You know what? I am still driving my old faithful 17 years old car! Hmmmm, my advise will be " Marry a rich loving hubby who can afford to buy a new car every 2-5 years"..

Hello JamesKYTan, I drive a manual car. But I made a device which could switch from one gearbox to another. In case I had to drive it in automatic like when I am on the highway. Cheers! Thok
