Manual or Automatic?

Everyone keeps raving about manuals, but from various sources I know that even people in Pakistan are opting for automatics over manual. People are Pakistan are much more sensitive to price then other countries.

I just looked at the Suzuki and Toyota websites, and the mpg for auto vs manual for the same model only differ by 1 or 2.

no offense to you but you’re talking about a country where the Machis ki Dibbi (Mehran) will easily do over 50 mpg and yet they have to convert that tiny 600cc mouse of an engine to run on CNG, if they were to ever find out that a Manual will still get them a couple of miles further then they’d in an Auto, I bet you a million pounds they’d never ever opt for an Auto box again, hell they’ve even got CNG on Rickshaws nowadays and I don’t blame then, I mean the average person earning 10k-12k a month and for him to pay 75 r.s a liter in petrol even an extra mile counts, its just the lack knowledge that gets in the way.

You are such an E-gangster, oooh. Anyway, majority of manual car enthusiasts still act like 12-year old douchebags, end of story. You getting offended is just a sign of self-analysis and some reflection I’m guessing!

good!, you stick by your judgment and I’ll stick to mine, end of discussion.

Bhaio, big difference between American vs Europan/Asian thinking towards manual vs auto. This argument is much like the arguments between Intel and AMD, Nvidia and ATI, and builing vs buying your computer.

not so, I’d say Queer gave pretty much the definitive example of an alternative to the Manual and Auto box argument .

Personally as a Mechanic i would have to say Manual. Has anyone tried to repair an Automatic gearbox?

Purely for ease it would have to be a manual. Automatic drives easier(that’s why women like need em) but when it brakes down then you cannot exactly fix it easily.

A manual gearbox is far less likely to cause trouble in the first place and is relatively easy to sort out if you know what your doing.

In case anyones asking, my first car was a Vauxhall Chevette.
That was a manual. I’ve only ever driven a Mitsubishi Shogun and a Toyota hi-lux that were Auto. I currently have a Toyota Corrola and a Ford Capri. I have also got an old Opel Manta classic car, and a honda 750 nighthawk motorbike.

I ride bikes and drive cars/trucks so i can say with confidence that i prefer Manual.

thats exactly what I’ve been on about but some people just don’t get it :hinna:.

P.S what MY Capri do you own? + the Opel Manta is an Awesome car, I love its look and the way it drives, you’ve got a good taste in cars I presume.
