You no longer need a manual to feel connected to the car and road.
I would choose the automatic because it is faster but ,I will still love the manual because its fun.
@@MrNoNameForYou but you can feel more connected with one. If a sports car is about connectedness, then why cheap out at the transmission?
Honestly, I'm going for automatic mostly because there's way too much stop-and-go traffic in San Francisco for me to not burn the clutch out
@@lamma109 Going with technology isn't cheaper out. It's more expensive. Have you driven them? You can choose shift points ect. You're very connected. Just because there's not a clutch doesn't mean you not connected. Your more connected possibly now to the road at least. Your doing one less step with the vehicle but you're putting that energy into the road. More gears the car can go through ect.
Let’s be real here. It doesn’t matter if you have an automatic or a manual. What matters is that you’re happy with what you own.
Straight facts my friend.

This is incorrect. You will get shit on constantly for owning an automatic. Whether we like it or not, we exist in a society.
Ideally, you'd be right though.

in 2021 yes, 30 years ago the manual all day long.
Automatics are indeed faster than their manual counterparts, especially nowadays, but they have their flaws just like how manuals have their flaws.
Basically you can't compare a automatic from a Honda to a automatic from a lambo.
All the kids who can't drive stick, and cruise around in their automatic civics saying "but automatics are faster", yes but yours isn't.
Yep, 4 speed automatic is slow asf. For 90's car, manual is the good to go.
Tbf though good luck finding a good manual when they're bro taxxed to high hell
And that's the truth, I always say manuals make slow cars fast.
That's like comparing apples to oranges lmao why even try
@@WeAreChecking I already have a 2013 sti, which is a great manual car, engine not so much. The one in my profile is my rc car of my actual car minus the stickers.
Also recently sold a 04 forester xt that was 5 speed.
Also sold a 05 rsx type s which is 6 speed.
All I got for good prices and miles.
It's not hard to find good manual cars, just takes patience.
Everyone when they first learn how to drive should start with a manual. This way they could drive anything.
Yes. I went to interview for a valet job, and the guy asks if I can drive manual as I walk in the door, I say yes, and I was hired right there. I figured all valets knew how to drive a manual, but there were only a few others.
yeah until they destroy the clutch.
@@slow_328i You shouldn't drive if you would do that😳 In normal countries people do their driving test in a manual car. Without burning the clutch.
agreed no more this statement
@@derekwhite8196 same I drove as a valet at Charlotte Douglas International Airport last year and part of the interview is the hiring manager gets in your car for a trip around the block as you drive, she got in and remarked that I had a clear advantage over other applicants there and got the job easy af. Too bad I got fired eventually for being high at work every day.
I drive an automatic, but I’d rather have a manual so people who love sticking things up their butt would stop telling me I drive an automatic
Tell them to make the payment and you will go get a manual,Otherwise suck it
@@horsepoweraddiction808 I’ve said that before lmao
^THIS
I have the automatic 2021 v6 camaro granted not the v8 but 335 horses still nothing to laugh at. Couldn't get the manual and I'm not patient so I said screw it the car in my profile picture was sitting there in front of me I couldn't say no and overall glad I didn't. So I use paddle shifters. Not as connected to the car as manual but still connected enough for me to get super attached to the car. I wouldn't trade it for nothing. Il eventually just buy a v8 hopefully manual. If by the time I buy the v8 the manuals are gone il be sad but I will eventually get my v8 it will just take 6 years and even then the horse power will go up even higher on v6 and v8 just like they have been. My v6 will be my everyday driver and v8 weekend car. I wouldn't mind a c7 or c8. I still think the c7 still looks super awesome. C7 and c8 are at a tie breaker for me for the time being.
I always say "NO. And I will keep driving automatics because YOU told me not too!"
The response is "Ohh kaaay..." and they leave me alone. I HATE people that tell ME what I should BUY for THIER approval.

I've been daily driving a manual transmission in NYC for about 5 months now. It really doesn't matter where you live you just have to practice releasing your clutch to the biting point and you will never stall. Even on hills.
Manuals are nice but nothing beats driving in heavy traffic than having an automatic. Heck I couldn't stand paddle shifting in heavy traffic so I could imagine a regular Manual.
We 2 step in busy traffic with manuals while the automatics can only coast along.
Its actually not as bad as it seems . and your ability to pass is way better
Once you get used to it, it's becomes muscle memory and requires no more effort than driving an auto in traffic.
this is why you learn new routes and leave earlier. Take the highways EARLY MORNING. 3-8AM (here in Dallas at least) take backroads anytime after that, NOT MAIN STREETS (only main streets until you get to that “shortcut” point) and you should be ok getting wherever

I’m 42 years old and my first driving lesson was on a stick shift vehicle that my father had when I was 13. I think it’s one the best experience I got in my life plus it is easy for you to drive automatic transmission once you learn stick. I currently own a stick shift but I also have an automatic vehicle. I’m old school so I’d say stick shift for life.
How can people say they know cars when they’re driving an auto? lol. Respect to you for knowing a stick
I had a automatic as a first car of course then I swapped over to manual and never looked back since!! Autos are great 👍🏾 no hate ! But a manual is just a preferred preference for me 🕹
The only bad part about Manuals (that I know of) is the manual tax. I'd love one too (again, preference. There's times I'm glad I drive an auto, but 80% of the time I wish it was a manual), but here, at least, everything thinks their clapped out 97 civic with a missfire and bad clutch is worth 1800+.

What he said
How can people enjoy a car if they’re driving an automatic?
I’ve only owned manuals for the last 7 years I don’t plan on getting an automatic. Also when your building a car it’s harder build up an auto to withstand extra hp. Additionally manuals are much better on maintenance and you feel one with the car. It makes the driving experience more fun.
If you want a more engaging car to drive, get a manual. You truly feel like you are operating heavy machinery, because you indeed are.
waiting for the britsh people..
them:is tHis sOmE kinD of aMerIcan Joke haHahaAah
Its not even 1/4 yet
I find it funny that autos get a lot of hate in the car community, however theres so many modifications out there with the purpose of making a manual function more like an auto.
I mean a sequential gearbox is basically like paddle shifters.
I live in NYC and drive through manhattan a lot. I only have 1 car, so I got mine in auto. Paddle shifters and a TCU tune to let me hit rev limit and stop the car from auto upshifting are the best of both worlds for me. I'm happy with it, and that's what matters. Be happy with your transmission choice!
Lets all come together as car enthusiasts and not worry about others preferences.
No screw that, we need to bash each other until only 1 car is left in the parking lot. That 1 car will be the TRUE ENTHUSIAST!
Lol! What, because they’re too sensitive to a little ribbing?
I hate that the manual transmission is about to be extinct. I think, if anything, manufacturers should at least have the option to special order a manual.
Yeah it really depends on the car/company some brands are trying to reinvigorate it like the upcoming 400Z is gonna be standard 6 speed manual and other countries often don’t have auto as standard
it all comes down to money... car enthusiasts say they love manual transmissions but vehicle sales show that way more people buy automatics than manuals, to the point where a lot of the time its not even profitable to produce a manual transmission model.
of course they can put a special order option for manual trans but imagine the cost of RND for a whole transmission set just for special order , its just not financially plausible.
unless more people buy brand new manual cars, car companies will inevitably stop producing them :(
Live bad news for you once the electric car becomes normal. Manuals will be dead.
Agreed. Mazda has a manual in the mazda3, but you cant get the turbo and manual:(

I miss it out there
Oh damn I'm early. 2 views. Manuals are awesome but they suck in traffic. Auto for daily, manual for the weekend car.
Manuals are fine in traffic, if its a stock car it shouldnt be an issue
I will choose a manual for most situations if the option is there, even if it's slower, it's just more engaging
Manual is just annoying for the most part, city driving is a terrible experience
Once you grow up and have more important things in your life going on you’ll change your perspective
I think the daily should be auto, the project car can be manual tho
@@taunted11 once you grow up you'll realize that growing means allowing for different perspective and priorities and that those preferences can make other people happy and successful
Manual all day for a fun car. It feels better to drive
I live in the UK and my two first cars were standard, I got my first automatic a few weeks ago and I love it, the thing is so easy to drive.
Manual for life
ey another great video. if y'all guys doesn't really have new vid idea try talk more about Japanese 90's VIP car they're great!!keep up the good work!
I just enjoy taking twisty, knotty, and downright pretzel shaped roads in my manual. I love taking my automatic on cruises and longer trips because I don't want to have to row my car to the next state.
What are you talking about? If you're on the highway, the vast majority of your driving is in 6th gear with very little shifting. :/
MANUAL!!!!111!!

I have 04 wrx 4eat (4 speed Automatic) . Guys What do you think about my car Give me ur opinion ?
There is no argument here. If u wanna drag race u'll need an automatic dual clutch. If u know how to drive and enjoy your car u'll always go for a stick.
Whose Gramps is that? cutting everyone off 😂 4:01
😂
Unless I’m tracking times, I’d choose to be in control of my gears and drive a manual any day! Makes driving so much more enjoyable. Definitely don’t need to save 1 second to get to the stop light.
Its easier to drive a automatic car fast then a manual, manual takes more driver skill and because of that is more fun to drive imo
It's pretty easy to drive a manual at speed. It's much harder to pull off low speed parking lot maneuvers and cold starts on hills (especially icy or wet hills).
Depends on who’s driving. Maybe someone who’s been driving manuals all their life will have fun BUT may not be fun for someone who just wants to go fast out the box.
@@erikw792 Why would cold starts be hard on a hill😂
A manual is for the enthusiast....a modern auto is for when you want to go fast.
Well said
A modern auto is for when you’ve given up on life.
stop gatekeeping "enthusiast" its pathetic and pretentious. No wonder no one takes the car community seriously anymore
You're not wrong. In drag racing there are classes for auto vs manual. And even different manual classes like H pattern being separate from sequential.
Where im from the most common cars on the road are manual. And where im from most car enthusiast appreciate manuals but prefer automatics
I got a 2012 gti last year with a 6 speed manual. Most fun car I’ve ever driven
I learned with and did almost half my hours in a manual, it was just a done thing for me because I want to be able to drive whatever car I want and most utes and 4WDs are manual. But since then I’ve only owned autos and I just want a manual car now
Only thing that drives me nuts about MT is the difficulty level increase in eating and driving.
You shouldn't be eating and driving anyway.
I have both and each have there place.
I like when someone in stick shift car runs there mouth before the race. Saying how fast they can shift and they can launch at high rpm’s but I can’t. Then we line up and I launch at 4000 rpm and drag that A$$. Good times!
if you can get a dual clutch, do it. they’re great. i’ve driven multiple manuals but i love my DSG.
Autos are generally faster, and more efficient now, that part is undeniable. But there is something with just throwing gears that I have never found with the autos. A nice dual clutch or single is amazing to drive, and tons of fun, but its that missing little factor of something that isn't describable.
I get way better city with a manual. Just put her in neutral and coast to the light, my junkbox was rated for 24 city 33 highway. I managed a combined 36 mpg 2 individual times before I went back down to 24 because I was bored of driving like some soccer mom. Faster if we are talking any dual clutch, PDK, or 2015 and newer single clutch auto I agree. No hate, just saying.
I got a scat pack with a spoon engine and on top of that I went to Harry's and ordered 3 T66 turbos, with NOS, and a Motec system exhaust!
That's going to haul a$$

For spirited driving, manual.

What's up from Quebec in Montreal guy's. I'm definitely bugging you guys again to please do a video on aftermarket light weight pulleys.

If everyone drove a manual in America, like they do in Europe, there would probably be less distracted driving because you need to actually pay attention, you would have more polite drivers because everyone would want more space in front and behind them when going high speeds, etc.
I owned a G35 coupe 03 in auto fit my first car it was fun to drive especially as a first car but I always wanted a manual grew up having car enthusiasts uncles and cousins watched intital d as a kid loved the show and later when I got my first manual i realized how much of a better driver I became that’s why a manual will always be superior it does change the while driving experience for the better an auto can never do that
I like both. I would say for me an auto as a daily driver and a manual fun car. Since I work in an outdoor job where I'm always on my feet so when I'm done I want to relax when I drive instead of having to use my feet even more after work
My first car was a 99 nb miata. My only car with ac. Just sold my 95m miata and am picking up a 2011 prht nc... auto. I will miss rowing gears but it's still a miata WITH A RETRACTABLE HARDTOP.

If you want to know which manufacturer is doing it right nowadays, look at Porsche. When the 911R came out people were demanding a manual GT3(a car focused on lap times) at a price that was not inflated and they delivered with the GT3 touring
I shift down gears, before approaching a curve, te guy with the automatic behind me is being breaking for the last 100 meters.
It's like driving a boat with tyres
For me, it's manual all the way. Yes, even in traffic, as a functioning mind is an alert mind! Absolutely ZERO driving assists please!

Yess. Even though everytime I go home after baseball or my part time job I always get traffic I’ll still drive manual. Even if my leg cramps everytime
@@tarekhafza7201 I didn't consider that and power braking as part of my zero driving assists demand. Those still require brain power to use. I'm talking more of the lane assist crap and other popular nanny systems that de-evolves spatial awareness skills.

As long as it's not some 90s cvt automatics are pretty good I got a 2007 e92 335d with a basic zf6 torque converter it hauls ass and you barely notice the shifts
Theres a big difference between Manual, Automatic and DSG/PDK/DCG however you wanna call it, they are the best of both worlds.
Fun factor as you still have full control and fun as heck, and relaxed af in auto mode.

@@hasangarcia7091 It was intended as satire.. of course you can drive only with the knowledge of auto.. 😒 there won't be any manual cars left within 15/20 years! 😅
Hey, there’s a bit of truth to that...
I’m surprised no one mentioned using paddle shifters for shifting in an auto
Most 0-60 or 1/4 mile runs aren't done using the paddle shifters, the computers are still quicker than a human when it comes to using paddles even.
My show car is a 2003 Mazda with a 5 speed manual, with a mechanical clutch, and I just bought a 2021 VW Jetta with a 6 speed manual. I'm still getting used to the hydraulic clutch in the VW but it sure is nice driving a manual daily.
It "All depends on your Teacher"...
Back in 1991, my Dad tried to teach me how to engage the Clutch on a 9° Angle Driveway... I roasted 2 clutches before we just walked away from each other...
I learned while working at an Auto Auction with my Manager handing me the Keys of a 1992 Porsche 911, and said "Now you will Learn"!
Now I can drive "ALMOST" Everything.
I'm manual all the way for the control, sometimes the computer for faster shift trans doesn't understand the conditions of road
I drive both a manual and an automatic. I use the automatic for work as a delivery driver for less stress and the manual to have some fun driving. best of both worlds.
watching this kind of videos from Europe always makes me think, here (Spain) nearly all cars are manual, I only found automatics on buses and high end luxury cars, maybe I'm biased because of that, but even after driving an auto on a trip I did, I will 100% stick to manual
I prefer manuals strictly for the enjoyment of banging through the gears. But automatics are cool too cuz you can practice left foot braking more easily.
Left foot braking? That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen...
@@Karll541 it kind of is at first, but you eventually learn not to use your whole leg like you would with a clutch pedal
The video i never knew i needed
If in not going 9/10 in my is300 I hate the car daily. Make sure you get the right car for the right purpose.
I bought a manual Golf R as my first sports car. Sucks to loose sometimes for missing a gear, but makes me happy that I feel like I am the one racing and that it was my fault for lack of practice. Let’s admit, automatic is faster but there is no fun knowing your car will alwAys give you the same outcome, versus manual, there is always space for improvement
I found a good price on a car I really wanted like 7 years ago and when I got there it was a manual. I had no idea how to drive one. Bought it anyways. My pops drove it home and for the next couple of weeks I made the neighborhood laugh and faced death at intersections.
The newer automatics are king of shift speed, retaining boost and overall quickness of driving being able to select the right gear at the right moment any given time
Bro I love manuals but I can't get a manual 370z because I live in a city with a shit load of traffic I'm so sad because the project car, gota also be my daily but it's okay I'll save up for an aftermarket sequential gearbox so I can feel more connected but still with the same 0-60 as auto's
Kinda regret getting a brand new car which is a manual for my parents to use at home since the pandemic after my dad injured his wrist after a fall. He is now recovering from a closed reduction procedure.

I love driving manuals. NA high hp cars are fun with a manual. Once you get into really high hp boosted or Nitrous cars, it's way easier to drive them with an auto. Boosted and Nitrous cars with a proper stall converter are usually QUICKER ET wise in the 1/4 but SLOWER MPH wise...

I worked all summer and was going to buy a stick g35 as my first car, but my Grandpa surprised me with an Auto G with a muffler delete. I'm so happy to have a car and honestly I'll need the money I had for insurance/repairs, but I'm so scared to take it to meets just because it's an Auto. Is the hate really that bad? I'd sell it and buy a stick but you don't really sell a gift and honestly I love the car and I think I would be selling it for the wrong reasons...
I used to drive a manual when I had my first car, but I gave it up because it wasn’t practical. Where I live there are lots of hills and traffic lights. And also the constant jerking back and forth between shifting gears was becoming very annoying. So it wasn’t for me…But I guess there are times when you just want to have a manual car every so often when you want to have fun. As for everyday driving tho automatic is the way to go. I’m glad I learned and that if I needed to know how to drive a manual in the future then that would be an advantage
I used to race my roommate home from work every day. We both had 2005 Scion tCs. Same car, same engine, same cold air intake, but he NEVER beat me... because mine was a standard. 🥲
I used to drive both ever since I passed my driving exam in 2018.
My first ever car to drive was a manual VW and I was driving it from 2018 to 2021. Experience was kinda wacky as I needed to get used to shift the gear. Been driving an automatic car since December 2021. It's cozy to drive, but my preference is now indifferent. I can drive both with no problem. And I still drive manual on occasion; while on work for example. Company vehicles* are all manual.
Always happens when you take away one! I’ve been like that for a month. Haha -Edgar

"So you want a manual Acura legend" 😎
I worked at a dealer ship and cvts were not it! I prefer a manual because I love having a strong left calf on my stage 2 clutch! I do know most if not all cars auto counter parts are heavier by sometimes 100lbs or more or less. Agree with you qhen you say an auto accelerates faster 100%!! I still like being in the manual car category because I like thinking my car may roll back at parking lots
I'd like to point out that that for most (at least modern) trans capabilities, a modified car could be faster with a stock MT, vs an auto with the same HP will need an upgraded trans setup. High whp usually means faster, but it depends on how you're spending your money. Upgrade trans and keep lower whp for same acceleration in lower speeds or upgrade engine and such and keep trans stock and be capable of faster acceleration on lower and higher speeds. I choose MT.
Automatically Is it economical in fuel consumption?
Manual for life! It doesn’t matter if auto is faster, there will always be someone faster, so you might as well have the enjoyment and connection with your car with 3 pedals and a stick.
