It depends on where you would be doing most of your driving and how you would use the car. If you live in the city... in heavy stop and go traffic... automatic is the way to go. Stop and go traffic is never good for manual... burnt clutch would make you be leaking naira by the thousands plus leg fatigue. If not in the city.... in a hilly area... or if you intend hauling heavy loads.... then choose manual... otherwise... automatic.

Name just one city in the entire where stop and go traffic is close... close to Lagos. Here you would not be given the space to fully release the clutch. No leg fatigue since they wouldn't have to be doing nearly as much footwork.

Oga all these 77 hrs lost annually can't be compared to Lagos, you lose 2 hrs in the morning and 3 in the evening going to work in the island, 5 days a week,in a month totally 20 hrs and that's if you are a sharp driver l. In that video I didn't see danfo or Marwa and those roads have btw 4-5 lanes

Honestly,, if u love driving,manual is so much fun to drive. If u can get a car with "paddle shifters",then u'll know driving manual is the best.
Re: Which Is Better? Automatic Transmission Or Manual Transmission by micflo28(m): 12:24pm On Nov 06, 2021
Most people who hate manual cars are those who fought hard to learn to drive it but couldn't.

It's like you don't know what you're saying. Automatic wins when there's a brake failure. Can you drive automatic with a failed brake. I can drive manual with failed brake even in hold up and to anywhere, so far I know there is no brake.
Re: Which Is Better? Automatic Transmission Or Manual Transmission by Cokahot: 8:55pm On Nov 06, 2021
Neutral with handbrake. I said brake failure wohala from trailer. It's easy to navigate using auto than manual based on reaction time. Oya na make dangote trailer face u on high speed with brake failure,no forget say manual na 2hands,auto na 1 hand

Manual is really much more fun to drive.
It gives u complete control of the car, once u get used to it, auto will seem so boring
