Who still drive manual at this time

Don't open your mouth in public and say that again, manual drive na poverty mentality.

chccho:
Manual transmission only gives the driver a more exciting driving experience and more control in determining when and when to downshift or upshift gears.

easytig:
I rebuke poverty for you amen, show me better lexus,Acura, even ordinary Toyota Camry,Highlander,Prado,rav 4, check the transmission to see if na manual dey there.abi you sabi work pass the manufacturer wey put automatic for there

hahahaha your just beginner in automobiles , all these models u name also has their manual variants, just that people order more automatic variant, are u a driver at all?

Leave dem na poverty mentality dey cause am.they are still living in the nineties,they need to upgrade themselves.

How? God will just give him the car for free? God is a Nissan or BMW manufacturer i guess.

anyway God will bless you too

Mention one lexus that is manual,oya

Automatic transmission is faster than manual

Anybody that say manual is faster don't know anything concerning cars, with automatic kickdown you will beat any shit from manual.

They'll never know what kickdown is.

There's a sensor for such sprint on Automatics, the more you throttle it, the more Fuel/air is allowed in the engine and the more the speed.


With my Honda Accord DC, I can accelerate from 0-100kmph in 5sec.

Who can change gears from 1-4 in 5 secs?!

Auto is faster, shifting in manual is just flair.

ibinaboonline:
The debate has been ongoing for a long time now and this is my two cents on the matter.

A car's speed is not solely determined by whether it has a manual or automatic transmission. Both manual and automatic transmissions can offer similar performance in terms of speed.

However, the actual speed and acceleration depend on various factors such as the engine's power, torque, aerodynamics, and weight.

True, manual transmissions can provide a more direct connection between the driver and the engine, allowing for precise control and potentially faster acceleration if the driver is skilled at shifting gears efficiently.

On the other hand, modern automatic transmissions, especially those with advanced dual-clutch or continuously variable designs, can shift gears quickly and efficiently, potentially rivaling or surpassing the performance of manual transmissions.

Experienced drivers, what do you think?

Op, I totally agree with your take

You are still stuck in the nineties 😂 😂 😂 sorry abi na
eighties

africandollar:
Ask yourself why formula 1 cars are manual-transmission…there you have your answer! In a competition where the number one need is the need for speed manual transmission rules supreme!

Automatic of course.

You can't even compare, unless the manual is v8 with higher horsepower.but same vehicles in automatic and manual, automatic is miles faster in every ramifications.

raslim20:
I don't really know but what I know is that I love to be in charge

manual is saver, and easy to control in case of sudden accidental issue.

Sprints3:
yes manual are faster than auto transmission.... I have tried and tested it... If u are a very good driver no auto transmission car can beat u... Cuz u shift ur sticks earlier than an auto car... U can shift from 3 -4 2-4 all na depends on driver experience

Guy you are blabbing nonsense. No manual car in this life can ever shift faster than an automatic that even uses planetary gear system. Omo Nigerians just think once something involves suffer it's the best.

lordm:
Automatic transmission is s faster and better. I have driven both

No sir,I beg to differ....I've owned both transmissions too!
Ever wonder why high end precision machines & racing cars are manual...?

Same car, same engine capacity: On a straight line, auto fit challenge 'me' if I drive manual

BUT, on a corner- corner road (like those roads in east) no man with auto go fit copy my plate number.

I will dust u with manual transmission and chase cars with bigger engine capacity (autos too) to hunt them down.

Even with all the latest gadgets and sensors, an auto is not designed to take 'corner corner' road. The gear may stall

For those saying kickdown abi kickboxer, gear 2 or 3 is there for a purpose. Also, how quick are u to change gears (with a good clutch) in a manual? Manual freaks dey o

OF COURSE, ESPECIALLY 7SPEED MACHINE

Depending on the driver

Both can achieve needed speed
Manual can be manipulated to gear 4 or 3 while acceding a Hilly highway then engage the lowest gear while defending... This will give You an edge over an automatic user without experience.... however if I am with Automatic... Whenever I am ascending a Hilly terrain I will tap my throttle and held it to equivalent of gear 4 or 3 listening to the engine roar till hilltop before releasing it to maintain the last gear....v8 the best....American Dodge ram

So it depends on the Driver. Both Automatic and manual can Achieve same speed... MY OPINION PLS ...I MAY BE WIRING THIUGH

did you guys manufacturing anything called car here, you guys begin to insult people based on their view, nairaland forum full of Nigerians with wrong training, from the wrong parents

you're right, but your automatic gearbox can't beat manual gearbox on the hill, nothing to do about it

Guy forget this one you are saying if you skip gear in manual it will stall a bit because of torque loss. Automatic can sustain torque from beginning to end while manual can never even dream of that especially while clutching. Anybody that says car speed depends on driver is a wretched fool that doesn't know a single thing about cars. Carry Corolla go race twin turbo Audi make we see as driver go determine speed of car.

hhhhmmm I hope you manufacture car in Nigeria

easytig:
Forget race cars,I'm sure you haven't driven any race car like Ferrari and so on sef,normal naija luxury rides like lexus and Benz na automatic o,dem no born car manufacturer well to put manual inside lexus v6,yawa go gas.ordinary Prado sef dem no fit, manual time don pass.

No I haven't driven race cars.

Yet.

But personally I prefer manual tranny. And drive it mostly. I only drive auto if I am going to run into traffic

You've driven both, but you have no experience.

Did u even READ and COMPREHEND properly what i posted there before u responded? Definitely not cos your response oozes ignorance AND primitive reasoning.
They still drive manual cars in advanced countries and even recent models of 2015 upwards so carry your ignorance go your village.

you see how you derail sir, that someone engaging you is a fool even when you fail to comprehend my opinion....one thing I know for sure is that you will be a king in in kingdom of IGNORAMUS....

Calitoscassius:
Have you driven a 2023 ferrari?

No. Not yet. But I have ridden in one. And it was manual transmission

Fearlez:
I bet you don't even know how to drive a stick.

Go check 0-60 spec of all the cars with manual and automatic gears and see their time differences. I could help you with some real data sheet of same car different gears here if you're willing.

Before them born u I have been driving cars

I’ll say Manual may likely be faster.
I learned and spent the first about 10 years of my driving on manual so the advantage I know with manual is that the gear selection is better controlled.

You think say those thiefs no get sense then whey them dey use Peugeot 504 and 505 then . Straight road na auto . Bend bend na manual 🤣 you go just dey change gear like say you dey on colos

airsaylongcome:

Okay, did you know that there are also auto Ferraris, Elecrtic and driverless cars. That was kinda what i meant by manual cars are old.

Yes we car enthusiasts know that manual cars are faster than automatic, because you can bridge the gears . Like moving the car from 3 to 5 and so on,that's why they're used in most car races even formula 1

anyway God will bless you too

God don't bless people, people work and buy themselves cars or whatever material things they want.

Besides, i don't need God to bless me i have 2 vehicles already i don't want more and i worked to buy the 2 vehicles God didn't give them to me.
