A few days ago my good friend who want to buy a car ask about selecting automatic or manual transmission. So here's my answer based on many source and my self experience using both manual and automatic transmission.
There are both advantages and disadvantages with manual neither the automatic transmissions. It is you self to decide wheater manual or matic.
Before decide to buy a manual or automatic car, price is considerable. Manual transmissions cost less than automatic, thats why budget is important.
When you go to a car dealear you will notice that the stick-shift version of the same model is about a thousand bucks cheaper.
Manual transmissions have their unique shifting characteristics, some are geared for fuel economy, others are geared for sport driving. Usually a manual transmission that will give you both a sporty driving experience and good economy are transmissions with close lower gear ratios with a relatively tall top gear. These types of manual transmissions enable you to accelerate as quick as possible with your lower gears, while your top gear provides the best possible fuel economy.
A tremendous acceleration is offered from a vehicle equipped with a manual transmission instead of matic transmission. If the vehicle mostly use in the city traffic automatic is a best recomendation, however for outside country manual shift stick is more effisien. Thats why choose your vehicle wisely.
Manual transmission is probably going to be your best bet being compare with automatic in terms of fuel consumption. Although still a lot of argue about this statement. Lately automatic vehicle with new technology offer less fuel consumption. So basicly, about this matter is back to your decission, how so ever when you decide to use a car, fuel consumption is not to worry about.
Based on consulting with some mechanics, he probably tell you that working on a manual transmission is much easier than working with automatic gear boxes. So the repair costs for automatics are significantly higher.
Manuals - if properly operated - will go hundreds of thousands of kilometers without problems. The lubricant needs to be replaced periodically but not as frequently as in automatics.
Whether you choose an automatic or manual transmission, make sure you think carefully. Both types of transmissions have their positives and negatives, it's your job to make sure the negatives don't outweigh the positives. In closing, I strongly suggest reading other reviews in this category here at epinions due to the vast amount of different viewpoints
