Battle of the Transmissions: M/T vs. A/T

**ans_lim168** · October 13th, 2010 12:53 PM

Learned to drive using M/T , got the chance to own an A/T during the mid 90's. For me M/T is still the best be it city driving (traffic stop and go or highway driving) nothing still beats old school. That's just me.

Hi mga sirs, I'm about to enroll today or tomorrow in Smart Driving School; mas mababa kasi ang rate niya kaysa A1 & Socialite - 7.5K for a 15 hour driving lesson. Tulad ng suggestions niyo dito, I'll be learning M/T kahit na A/T ang kukunin ko this NOV 2010.

They have branches near our house in Marikina and near my workplace in Makati. Saan ba mas magandang mag-aral mag-drive? Sa ma-traffic na Makati/Manila area o sa maluwag na Marikina area?

para sakin:

sa wide area para sa timpla training
moderate traffic para sa stop go
heavy traffic kung sanay na magtimpla
nlex o slex para sa highway driving.

Sana nga maranasan ko yan kasi yung Makati branch ng Smart Driving ay nasa kanto lang ng Buendia & Evangelista - malapit sa mga highway (EDSA & Osmena).

sa gitgitan/singitan sa traffic, mas lamang ang M/T since total control mo yung andar mo. naalala ko yung isang crv na gustong sumingit sa lane ko (I just know it's an A/T because dikitan din kami). hirap siya sa yung aandar ng mabilis or biglaan for a very short distance tapos yung preno din kaagad. sorry siya, nag-counterflow siya tapos sisingit sa akin.

Baka mahina paa nung naka CRV kasi ako ke manual o matic di ako masingitan ng mga pesteng taxi

Nope. Totally separate issue.

maganda ang M/T sa city driving at sa long drive, sa A/T maganda e2 sa akyatan pero hindi na tipid sa gas consumption. M/T kapag hindi ka masyado pupunta sa mga matataas or incline roads.
