atomic_punk Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Manual. Recently was asked to drive an automatic. For some reason it felt unresponsive to me. Kelangan ata malakas ka tumapak sa gas all the time which I'm not used to. Quote Link to comment
hitomi Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 manual for driving enjoyment, practicality and easy repair. for driving in the city, i like automatics, BUT you have to set aside money for towing and ALWAYS bring jumper cables, just in case hehe. has anyone tried SMG (Sequential Manual Gearbox)? its an automatic transmission that lets you shift manually through buttons or paddles, like f1. i think its a monstrously expensive system in a car. any feedback from users?

pepe_man Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 automatic for city driving - traffic, parking in tight spaces etc....convenient talaga ang matic.as with maintenance - as long as maalaga ka sa transmission mo ( ATF lang naman yun) wala namang problema.gas consumption, I find na like manual trans cars ang consumption sa matic halos pareho lang. wag ka lang gigil masyado sa gas pedal. otherwise malulungkot ka sa kilometers/liter mo.A/T can get a little bit boring though specially on long drives. Manual - for pure driving pleasure - overtaking etc..... Quote Link to comment

milhouse83 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 the only joy i get from driving an automatic is that i get to use my left foot on the brakes more often ala michael schumacher! Quote Link to comment
mangjoe Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Automatic.. easier to drive.. unless u are in a race.. automatic accelerates fairly descently naman with d newer models.. nasa pag-apak lang yan, tinitimpla rin yan to get d right acceleration, hinde basta apak lang ng todo-todo.. that wont get u anywhere Quote Link to comment

Ferrum Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Mas smooth, efficient at enjoyable mag drive ng manual. But ma-appreciate ko ang automatic when i had a gf and we pass by Edsa often. Quote Link to comment
doc_smile08 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 manual..... automatics are for ladies and lazy...nothing can beat the power and the style of drivin sa manual :cool: Quote Link to comment
Pasaw2 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 manual, boring kse matic. try driving a matic car going to ilocos, antukin ka sobra. Quote Link to comment
fordrallyesport Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 depende kasi sa car e.. kung race habol ko, manual, pag city driving or normal driving, matic nalang.. Quote Link to comment
luol_deng Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 i like driving both but automatic for me...i drive mostly around inner city or city areas and theres alot of start-stopping and a manual is just too tiring esp if i finish work late and i just wanna cruise home. With newer cars there isnt much difference between fuel economy now as both have roughly the same figures, i do love driving semi-automatics where i can choose to manually shift my own gears using the +/- gear stick or the F1 style behind the steering. Plus if you got a chick your shift hand can do some other shifting hehe Quote Link to comment
campocarne Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 was looking for car reviews & napadpad ako dito. Anyway, i agree with you guys. For long trips, nothing beats manual trans but for city driving, iba talaga ang matic. I have to admit also that when you text while driving (di dapat pero you can't avoid it at times), it helps pag naka-matic. Tnx & happy motoring! Quote Link to comment

dakila7 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 sa totoo lang, i prefer manual kasi nakakaantok ang matic... but with the current traffic in the metropolis, sarap na mag matic. Quote Link to comment
