Suzuki Vitara 2018

i feel "more comfortable" driving my MT over my AT.

Mas nakakapagod pa nga yung AT. You have to press and hold the brake pedal pag naka stop. Nakakangawit.

Nabasa ko kasi na masama ang pag shift from D to N pag trapik. Na-stress daw ang transmission. I am new to AT.

Sa MT ko mas madali, neutral lang. Bagong palit pa yung clutch ko sa isang auto kaya kalambot. hehe

Well most new cars now may auto brake hold na.

And mas nakakapagod mag shift manually pag traffic, given na yun.

Also, kaya naman Ng handbrake Ang D, although I still step on the brakes kasi praning ako baka umusad

You put in in N when at a stop light or stopping for more than 20-30 seconds ... Constantly shifting from D to N will obviously wear out the transmission faster than keeping it in D ... But you have to take "constantly" in context ... It might mean every time the car stops (even for just 5 seconds), the driver shifts to N ... But even then, the automatic transmission will still last for 100T kms ...

It's like saying turning on the vehicle air conditioner will wear it out faster and consume more fuel ... But you still turn it on for comfort and convenience ...

Safety first so put it in N when at traffic stops ...

Thanks for the tip. First AT car ko kasi to sir. Kaya choosing between 6speed AT and CVT, sa AT ako. based on reviews mas matibay ang conventional na AT.

Buti pa yung isang car ko, less complicated, change oil lang ok na. hehe

Pero I love the cruise control sa Vitara ko.

My CVT, i constantly put it at N at stops, and even while coasting. 145k kms on the odometer now, didn't even fail once.

Ohhh wow.. while coasting on what speed? But still it’s coasting, why you do that? similar to manual to consume less fuel?
but i read it can cause safety issue...

Coasting to a stop. Its more on saving brakes.

Anyways, i don't condone it.

On modern vehicles, coasting will consume more fuel ...

Coasting on Neutral in an AT car is very bad. The engine will have no control on the rotation of the tires.
