Manual Transmission(Manual) vs Automatic Transmission(Auto)


Guys, answer me how much you enjoy driving manual cars as everytime you slow down or stop you have to switch to 1st gear. Damn! you hate it obvioulsy if you have the better option of switching to auto.
I reckon auto is so awesome with very good pick up speed. Recently when I started driving auto car, I was amazed with the transmission. It was so good and I had to worry about the steering and forget clutch!
But going over the internet and doing some RnD I found that manual has better mileage,average. But if you see the brighter side, look at the ease at driving auto cars.
I loved it anyway. I drived Ford Falcon G6 at top speed of 140 kmph which was momentary though. Average speed being 90-100 kmph. the experience was awesome.
After not having driven much with manual cars, my transition from manual to auto was gr8.
But in India most of vehicles are with manual transmission due to the cost of living. People go for cheaper cars.
Even I own a manual car in India. ;-) So that proves it!
But I won't be surprised if we would be switching to auto cars totally.
Sorry to manual lovers who drive all day to office/work with one hand constantly on gearbox :)

PS : Default Speed limit is 100 kmph for Driving on roads of Victoria. So don't tell anyone about this!!
