manual....you're in control of the car.
matic....less stressful drive.

they said it na,e...but..

manual: pagnasira: madali ipaayos kaya mura, at madaming pag-rerepairan..mag nagslide, 3-4 parts lang papalitan mo (clutch disc(mostly 1, pero may mga more than 1),release bearing,pressure plate) mas bulit-to-last ito than matic..a 80% right choice kung bibili ka ng secondhand..

matic: pagnasira: magastos! basta magastos! pero ang basic maintenance nito ay drive the right way and change with the right ATF(usually 8 liters) every 40 thou kms...

Manual. Mas mura eh.

yup, first aquisition cost, talagang masmura ang manual...pero iba ang case kapag jdm converted units..sa rarity ng manual tranny, mas mahal pa ang manual units kaysa sa automatic counterparts nito..but hey, masmatiba talaga ang manual kaysa sa matic.... having a 1989 nissan auster(maxima) m/t a 98 kia pride gtx a/t and a jdm 1991 liteace...i could say na going strong parin ang 17 year-old maxima ko...

bakit mas malakas sa gaso ang matic kesa sa manual

alwayz_yummy · #8 03-27-2006, 08:44 PM

conventional matics wala kang control sa shifting, which is an advantage of the manual.. pero iba ang case ng cvt trannies like on the jazz/city,lancer,etc....

I'd definitely go for manual. Sarap magshift ng gears eh! Parang ang boring kasi ng matic. And you're not always stuck in traffic. Pansin ko lang ha, ever since tumaas ang gasolina, parang umonti na ang mga sasakyan sa kalye.

I'd still go for manual...me sarili ka diskarte, mura maintenance and simple gamitin, and most of all, nakasanayan na eh!

Drove a matic...cost too much for repairs n maintenance, not to mention ngawit left leg ko sa long drive. hanap-hanapin mo talaga manual eh.....

Manual, definitely... as long as it's a good manual.

Automatic - because of high inertia / heavy rotational mass, drinks more gas, is more sluggish, and computer programming may, at times put you in the wrong gear or refuse to shift up when you want it to. Plus, with our heat, traffic and humidity, the maintenance costs and lifespan of a regular automatic are greatly affected.

CVT Automatic - definitely a better choice than either. Best of both worlds. The light weight of a manual transmission (possibly lighter, actually), which means better fuel economy and performance than a regular automatic... fuel economy equal to a manual... smoother shifting and more constant acceleration than a regular automatic or manual.... only wear/breakable item is the CVT-belt, replacement of which will probably only equal a clutch replacement... can you tell I'm obsessed?

di naman halata eh with all the technicals

control vs. convenience
performance vs. smoothness

These are factors that are normally considered in buying manual or automatic. As for economy, manuals are usually more efficient because they're lighter and less complicated, compared to automatics that have a computer and a performance-eater in the torque converter.

Paddle-type gearboxes bridge the gap. Drivers have the control of a manual, while having the option of cruising in full-automatic mode. Examples of these are BMW's SMG and Ferrari's F1-type. Sadly though, the technology needs to be less expensive in order to be applied to mainstream cars.
