The last manual car i had was my VW golf mach 4 a long while back, as beautiful and pimped as the car was (every1 loved it), i mean a show stopper of car! i had to SELL it and buy a japanese car
1. cos it was maual
2. cos the parts where kinda expensive and it seemed to have alota electrical probs.
 so i don t agree with i siena; automatic transmission is better anyday and japanese cars are way more reliable.
Though i stiil have one german car and thats only cos of the bagde it carries.

no no no, i dont agree with uu chief.
1. japanese cars are sweet and reliable everyday cars ( esp the toyota brand ) lovely trouble free operation, no long thing

2. why would be wasting my time and effort shifting gears when technology can do it for me. It's safer in fact as u can keep both hands on the wheel at all times and uu concentrate better, no threat off rolling backwards when trying to move up a hill from stand still, no engine going off issues, plus u can get thruthe worst traffick jam much more conviniently. My bbrother, automatic iswayyyyyy better in every way

German cars, especially Audi, are reliable and prestigious, reliable too. Mine has covered 218,000 trouble-free miles, still on the original clutch, engine, transmission, exhaust, alternator, starter motor. Cylinder heads have never had to come off for gasket replacement either. My previous car, an Audi Coupe S2 had 572,000 miles and was still going strong!  cool

If your car rolls backwards, then you need more driving lessons, to brush up on clutch control!  grin
If you stall a manual, you need more lessons too!  grin cheesy

On a serious note, an automatic is not termed a "driver's car". Ask any real car enthusiasts, and the preference is generally manual, a car that has too many driving aids takes the fun out of driving, driver input is at a minimum. This is the reason lots of supercars, like Ferrari Maranello / F50 and Lamborghini Diablo have specific models that have no ABS, traction control, power steering etc, as most enthusiastic drivers like to be in control, not the car being in control of them.

Don't get me wrong - besides my Audi RS4, I also have an Audi S4 2,2L 5 cylinder 20V turbo, which happens to be an auto.
It's nice to drive, but heavy on front brake pads, and fuel consumption of an auto is higher than the manual equivalent.

A manual transmission is maintenance free, an auto is not. I've been in the motor trade for 18 years, and I've never had to replace or repair a manual, I can't say the same for auto models, and I'm referring to cars in general, not just Audi, BMW, Honda, Toyota etc.


Lastly - an auto has a lower top speed than its manual equivalent, and the 0-60 mph time is slower too.
There are some cars that are auto only, without a manual option, yet when manufacturers enter these models in motorsport, they build manual versions specifically for the purpose of remaining competitive. Auto's have a lower torque limit compared to a manual, and the killer on these cars is when the torque converter overheats, and this heat is transferred to the fluid and clutch bands.

Hmmm, nobody has ever argued on this issue b4, theres's nothin wrong in maitaining ur transmisson jus as theres nothin wrong in maintaing ur engine! i'm talkin bout practicality here not 'drivers car" how many people actually drive like ptrol heads needing to get from 0- whatever so quckly, my beemer for insatnce goes 0-60 in less than 6secs, but i can tell u iv never pushed like that b4, absoloutely no need to.

For evryday driving and use, jap cars r generally better no doubt, every1 cant be wrong!
I drive manuals excellently well, i learnt with a manual at 13yrs of age, so idont encounter those problms, but other people may, and they may run into you when they do, or cause unnesasary accidents,even skkilled maual drivers may encounter these problems from time to time, for wwhtever reasons.
Autos are clearly better, again evry1 cant be wrong!

Doc, yes you need to maintain your transmission. But it makes the car high maintenance, compared to a manual.
Auto's are thirstier, no arguements there.
Auto's are heavier of brake pads, you'll replace them at the front 3 sets for every one set on a manual.

Deep down, you're a car enthusiast too, else you'd buy a BMW with the smallest engine, because you don't like driving fast!
I've owned 3 Japanese cars - 1 Honda Accord, 1 Toyota Celica, and one Toyota Carina Wagon, and while they were reliable, they weren't fun to drive.
German cars are reliable and fun, nothing wrong with combining both.
 cool

And from an engineer's point, an auto isn't better than a manual, though they earn us more money when they go bang!  cheesy

Something else autos don't offer, is engine braking, whereby the engine compression can be used to bring a car to a halt, in the unlikely event both brake circuits fail. A manual will do this, this is also the reason brake pads last longer, as the braking is generally shared by the brakes and transmission, so the brakes, especially the front ones where 75% of the braking occurs, are less loaded.

Lastly, no one bargains to brake down in a remote area, but it can happen, even in the best maintained cars. A car with a flat battery can be got running with a jump pack, or a slave car and a set of leads, if you have these to hand. On the other hand, a car with a bust starter motor can only be got going in one way - a bump start. Again, the manual car that has a rigid connection to the engine / flywheel / clutch assembly will use engine compression to turn the engine over, and get running, another thing an auto, with a torque converter can't achieve.

The torque converter is less efficient at converting power to motion, as it allows a certain amount of slippage, which in turn wastes engine power at low rpm. That's where your fuel goes, each time the car has to move from standstill.

The flywheel and clutch, though developed around 1881 with the Mercedes-Benz, is still the most efficient means of converting power into motion today, the torque converter, despite having been refined and improved over the years, including the later generation of lock-up versions, will never have the same efficiency as a manual single or twin diaphram dry clutch and flywheel.

@ siena

No point arguing boss. I guess its about preference really, i drove an automatic for over three years without any problem whatsoever, not for one single day, and i waka about alot! i only sold it cos i wanted to upgrade, autos are not high maintenance anything, depends on how u maintain it, even manuals will mess up if dont maintain properly. Imagine driving a manual in those crazy lagos hold-ups, thats when ull know wasup.
Steptronic paddle shift gears are a good compromise i think. I can never buy a manual shift again, even if i wana get a super car some day (hopefully) may be, ill get the paddle shift model
