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

[Jun aka Pekto]

If your car is 1.3L Engine, would you go for MT or AT?

I'd go with MT to get the most out of available HP and torque.

Now, for my V6 Sonata (3.3L), the AT is fine. No delays. It's like a late 80's or early 90's V8 with the torque and response.

I feel sad that only base variants are equipped with manual transmission nowadays
The most luxurious car you can buy with a manual trans is a toyota prado diesel

I will never drive a manual in Manila, Makati at QC kahit kailan

Each to its own. Manual for me.
I love the kick you get when you change gears.
Inaantok ako sa automatic eh

I honestly prefer manuals when it comes to going up/down slopes (mountains/hillside roads). It at least gives me more confidence and control via shifting.

But overall, I still side with ATs. More specifically, I am very inclined with current gen CVTs. I am already used to the rev-drone when you try to accelerate hard as I seldomly do it.

Manual Trasmission

Manual since cars with Automatic trannys are heavy. Plus Manuals are more fuel efficient given the right foot.

But a manual car with a semi-racing clutch on EDSA traffic?

I'd have the best of both worlds.
MT when you are up for some spirited driving.
AT when you just wanna go from a-b, specially in MM traffic.
