Manual or Automatic?

elder_reaper
Prefer manual or automatic cars? I prefer manual for the amount of control and the fact manual cars do, in fact, last longer. I do daily an automatic because I got it for a good price, but otherwise, totally into manuals.

I like automatics to the extent that they're more practical for daily driving as it's one less thing to have to think about. However, for the reasons already noted in the OP post and more if I ever get around to getting myself a project car I'd probably go for a manual.

Fuel economy and durability are better in manuals too.

Manual. Same reasons.

Manual. Although the automatic cars are actually getting better at fuel efficiency that it might even be better than the manual it self.

Elder_Reaper, only in older cars. The difference is negligible at best in modern autos.

Actually that is untrue because the EPA has a different procedure for automatic cars in fuel economy, namely it doesn't take into account parasitic drains that the automatics run to the engine, also its well known that MPG figures don't fit real world driving. My Mazda 3 gets 35MPG, automatic because I generally drive conservatively.
