Who said driving a machine like car is easy?

Be it manual or automatic, you need to master the craft. There are people who can drive the automatic transmission but can’t drive the manual transmission. On the other hand, there are people who are used to manual and can’t easily drive an automatic transmission.


A lot of people have their taste when it comes to transmission type; different strokes for different folks. Be it manual or automatic, learning how to drive isn’t an easy task. It’s not a ‘one-day’ process. It requires time, energy, money consistency etc.


We would often hear and see people argue that manual drivers are better drivers than the automatic drivers. Reaching a conclusion can be a tricky one because manual cars and automatic cars have their pros and cons.

Are manual drivers better drivers than the automatic drivers? You’ll have to decide at the end of this post. Here are some reasons why many people think manual drivers are better drivers.

1. Better Handling:
A manual driver is more calculative than the automatic driver. He’s more aware of how best to handle a car. He has a better understanding of car dynamics, braking and acceleration. He knows how best to manipulate the gear and how to perform a good clutch engagement. He’s more careful to drive well

2. Pays Better Attention/cautious drivers:
Who pays better attention other than a manual driver? Even though automatic drivers pay attention, it’s not as much as manual drivers. The manual driver is very sensitive and easily take notice of things going on . They have superb mental alertness.

3. Manual drivers are good learners:
The manual drivers have stronger connection with their car. Manual drivers are never bored of driving; they are enthusiastic about driving and better driving tips.They keep learning to keep afloat. They keep learning to make better gear transitions etc.

The above are their major reasons why they think manual drivers are better than automatic drivers.

Between manual and automatic drivers, who do you think are better drivers?

It’s best you answer it yourself.

Manual still remains the best.

Team manual. Majority of car racing and successful robbery are being done with manual cars

Before you argue, why do most car manufacturers add a semi-manual system to their automatic gear system?

I prefer manual car for highway driving and Automatic car for City driving.

Manual is bae!! Automatic is for lazy folks...very boring to drive

If u can drive manual, you automatically drive automatic. But someone who drives only automatic can't drive manual. That changing of gear eh

Automatic all the way abegi

Abeg shey na manual / auto buhari day use drive Naija .. Abeg I no go again .. I won come down sir

If you can drive shift, automatic is easy to teach yourself. But it's not vice versa.

Wrong assumption. I know quite few people who can drive manual but can't drive automatic

Although the automatic has gone a long way in automating very well but the most important especially emergency decisions are better taken manually. Manual vehicle rocks.

I do not need reasons,I know we are better!!!

Manual rocks

I hear

Yeah, I got pissed off with it (changing of gear) when learning, probably because I had a bad instructor who was only interested in the money for the training, requesting for more like Oliver Twist.
I own an auto, so I just called it off to be driving my auto jeje

Is that so? Their matter serious

So by continuously shifting gears automatically makes one a better driver? I started driving with manual. used it for a while before changing to automatic. I traveled with a manual car recently, and even though I haven't driven one in years, I managed it effortlessly. Team Auto anytime

Yes Ma.

When driving auto,i sometimes sleep on the wheel,but manual cars makes alert all the time
