Vorpal: Una never jam. Which kain automatic una de drive for Nigeria wey no go allow you overtake "long vehicle" on time? I can't believe in 2016, Nigerians are still talking about manual shift. God forbid. Don't get me wrong, other countries still use manual but you will only find maybe one citizen out of 20 million doing so. 5 Likes 1 Share |

As much as I love the control the manual offers, one has to take into cognizance the road s/he is driving on. For the average Lagos road and traffic, abeg, I'd prefer an automatic transmission. I once had a muscle pull while on traffic cos of the constant clutching. 1 Like |

So many persons just put the car in 'drive' and drive. How many persons know the function of the '1', '2', & '3' in some automatic transmission gear system? You can overtake anything if you know your way around driving. Automatic still offers some form of control. 2 Likes |

Manual is the best when it comes to stunt driving , overtaking with split and what have u, but for comfort with regards to lagos traffic I give to auto, Auto can just decide to play kite with ur life when overtaking a long truck while ascending a slopy dual carried road while a fully loaded truck descends d same road....hmmm that day I almost had a handshake with death. |

I've driven both and would gladly settle for automatic transmission. The beauty of auto transmission is that you can also select it like a manual transmission (I bet some of u didn't know this). Here's the scenario...it's a Benz c350 and the auto transmission arrangement is P-R-N-D-D1-D2. When on regular 'D' mode and trying to do a long overtake, or u suddenly need to increase speed, either because d person u are trying to overtake is proving stubborn, just shift the gear to 'D1' you'll feel the change in sound and sudden burst of speed...as soon as you achieve your goals, return the gear back to 'D' mode immediately. Now knowing this, which do you prefer? 7 Likes 1 Share |

veekid: Funny thing is, years back, when I was much younger, I remember mechanics telling my dad "Oga no go near auto at all, e no good. The transmission dey always get wahala. Besides, it's for lazy people." Lol! My mum learnt how to drive with a manual car. In case of an emergency, definitely she'll drive it. But for the fun of it, hell no! Not even if her car's faulty. Except it's a sports car, I am not going to bother with manual transmission. 1 Like 1 Share |

koxi: D1 means the car won't exceed gear one. So what "burst of speed" are you talking about? Also, with automatic, it's never a good idea to change the gear while it's in motion. 3 Likes |

Just assume u were driving and ur auto is on gear 5 then u move to d1 do u know what dat mean, what u get is no burst of speed rather burst of noise with ur speed decreasing, and means twerking for death if u r facing an oncoming trailer koxi: 1 Like |

Any person who has driven for a long time and really knows how to drive will definitely prefer manual transmission. When you are driving a manual transmission, you are in control. Nearly had an accident because the auto I was driving didn't change to gear four fast enough as I wanted to overtake. |
