Do you prefer a manual transmission, or an automatic transmission?

Question

Oh, and are you male or female. I am a 25 year old female. I have had somewhere around 10 cars in my lifetime. I absolutely loved my manual transmission cars more than the automatic ones. Is that normal?

Answer 1

17, Male, MANUAL. I cant stand automatics. No control over the RPM or Shift points. (I drive hard) So control and performance are mandatory.

Answer 2

I am a 28 year old female and have never learned a manual transmission...with an automatic you just get in and go!

Answer 3

It's fun to have the control of a manual, but they get to be a **** in stop and go traffic. If I'm not getting the car for pleasure, It will have an automatic.

Answer 4

Of course it's normal!  I'm female and just turned 60.  I've loved manual transmissions ever since the first one I got at about your age.  They're a lot more fun and you have more control.  My daughter bought her first automatic after college thinking it wouldn't matter much but turned it in for a manual two months later.  Hope they keep making them!
