you as a human are far less efficient than a automatic car can ever be. you driving a manual gives you less control by default

You have no idea what you're talking about. Engine braking is a world of difference alone if you live somewhere with a lot of inclined roads.

I doubt Rika even leaves his basement, much less drives.

Pretty much this. Rika has admitted to being an unemployed, uneducated incel in his mid to late 20s. It is doubtful he even knows how to drive a car.

I always wondered what "more control" entails.

You know, practically. If you just like being able to drive recklessly that really shouldn't count.

Yeah I never got that either. What crazy shit are these people doing that requires more control than going, stopping, and steering

So you're basically just ignorant on the subject then.

It is for stuff like if you need power for getting through snow or mud or something. But that was more for back when automatic transmissions were not as good as they are now.

Makes sense.

I wouldn't expect muddy conditions to he common for a sedan driver but in sone places they do get a lot of snow.

You're literally knocking driving a manual insinuating manual transmissions equate to "reckless" driving.

It's just an ignorant statement.

Boring

If you're just using your car to get from point A to point B, why do you care how interesting it is?

What about an automatic vs manual dishwasher? Does the convenience of an automatic outweigh how it's much more "boring" to not physically wash dishes?

I am indeed. I legitimately don't know what additional control these people require that the majority of drivers in the US do not.

If maximum control over your vehicle is what you manual-purists crave, then I've got just the right car for you:

I dont think any normal person can stop and go at will in that thing unless you are superman. Even as superman, you would be some serious superglue on your ass.

self driving car can't come soon enough, so over driving in general

Yall are some lames. You all just dont know how or are too pussy to drive a manual.

Automatic definitely takes less effort.

But discounting the 'fun' factor of driving to prove your point is stupid. That's the only reason I drive a manual.

I drove a manual while I lived near DC. If you have ever been in Northern VA and know traffic around DC you can imagine what a nightmare that was.

Told myself I'd go automatic with any car that wasn't a performance vehicle after that and haven't looked back.
---

I was about to say how "fun" a manual would be in the DC metro area with its traffic from hell and speed cameras literally everywhere

If I lived out in the middle of nowhere maybe I'd feel different about manuals

I'll stick with automatic. I don't care about having fun driving and I'd rather put every ounce of focus I can watching the road in front of me instead of having to think about shifting gears, etc.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Engine braking is a world of difference alone if you live somewhere with a lot of inclined roads.

you can engine brake with autos

When you drive manual, you are not supposed to think about ahifting gears it should be something you just do.

lmao @ the complete failures thelovefist Lonestar2000 who are so ignorant as to unironically believe autos cannot engine brake

I never said they couldn't. I said you don't know how to drive and are an unemployed, uneducated incel.

I never said they couldn't. I said you don't know how to drive and are an unemployed, uneducated incel.

any engine braking effect is counteracted by the way most automatics handle cruising or deceleration. the whole idea is that you let off the gas and let the engine act as a huge air compressor. that's difficult to achieve when the transmission intentionally shifts into a high gear for efficiency or neutrals out. plus the gears/belts/clutches are designed to transmit torque to the wheels, not the other way around - it can be hard on the trans, especially if someone is dumb enough to force it into low gear at speed to achieve the desired effect

@thelovefist has never even seen a car irl because he never leaves his mothers basement. he doesnt have a job or an education, so of course he wouldnt understand how a car works

thats more of a response than you have earned

You do have some control of your gears in an auto. Got to learn how to use your gas pedal though.

Automatic is fine, as long as it gets me to where i need to go.
---

I prefer automatic/cvt, not a fan of manual because of how much extra bs you have to do, It is annoying as fuck.
