Which transmission system do you prefer in cars?

Almost all American cars are auto, but I learnt to drive back home on good ol manuals and thats what I prefer. Makes driving more fun, because it actually takes some effort and skill.

I prefer manual transmission because the way I drive on the karachi raods I don't think so a automatic transmission can handle that :D in other words I want more control over the car.

Automatic cars are good for clear roads and long relaxing drive..

Automatic is almost as good as the manual ones. The only advantage for the manual is that you have more control over the turns. Instead of using brakes you can use the gears for some awesome results. The same thing is followed in games as well :D. However, the overdrive thing in the automatic cars takes the cake. My Vitz is automatic and when you use it on Over Drive then its hell lot of fun.

I prefer manual man. Heck, one of my hands is always on the shifter and one on steering (power steering BTW).
It just doesn't quite feel like driving when on auto transmission.

Manual all the

Manual Transmission give better acceleration
U can choose to push every gear to its Higher RPM limits for better acceleration

U can choose to shift before hitting around 3.5K RPM for a smoother ride and fuel conservation (Like Parents do :p)

That is my favorite thing to do! Although I felt guilty doing it to my parents cars, when I buy my own car that is the only way I'm going to get going. Jahil driving FTW.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
