    On kia sedona

  • sooooooooooooooooooooo easy

  • I have honda Jazz

    

  • OMG..automatic is so easy. Here in the UK mostly everyone drives manual.

  • really useful, i couldn't figure this out myself :) :)

  • Why do americans pass their driving licenses in automatics and not manual transmissions,to change from a manual to an automatic is great fun (your left foot is looking for the clutch :D )but vice-versa will be a nightmare .

  • Me too just went got one for Xmas !!!!

  • I love automatic

  • My mom was teaching and i failed... Fob moms...

  • what car is this sir???

    

  • @Bernalfingfoe13

    i think its Nissan

  • So if i have the plus and minus signs to the right of my 350z, do i put it in the plus, hold down the brake all the way, put in some gas and then let go of the brake and hit the gas? and then from there what do i do? someone please help

  • autos have clutches....just not clutch pedals

  • Lol, "triptronic". It's actually called tiptronic and only Audis and VW call it that.

  • My first time was a week ago i guess it was

    automatic !! soo freaking easy ,, and hell of fun =D

    cant wait to get my own car

  • my first car will be manual

  • I am watching this because i will visit my friend in Texas , and will rent a car ( im from France ) , and i never even seen an automatic . We all drive manual here .

  • I drive an automatic but for my next car im gonna get it with manual

  • I drive manual. AND HOLY SHIT DID YOU SEE THAT GEAR LAG? 1:58

  • uhhh

  • i already want to fall asleep just driving an automatic never mind watching this

  • Esentially.

  • 405,318 people are straight up dumasses how the fuck do you not know how to drive automatic...

  • @SA9M4 you are one of them... I drive manual and I was just curious how this thing for non-handy people works...

  • @MichaelJimmySmith

    What about those of us who don't want to dick around with a century old system that makes driving a chore and a misery? I like driving automatic so I can focus more on the road instead of the damn car, and so that driving is 10x more chill, stop and go when it's appropriate. No clutch, no gears, no hassle. Start and Stop, just like a dodgem.

  • @eaglewings8 Look at your comment "...focus more on the road instead of the damn car...driving is 10x more chill..." I don't know about you but i'd be less focused if i was very relaxed. Plus safe driving requires focus on both car and road.. But I must admit, an autobox is very helpful for drivers with disabilities, or those who just want to get somewhere without stressing so much

  • @SA9M4 and u didn't watch it? jeeze!

  • @SA9M4 I found this video searching for "how to drive an 18 wheeler", i just wanted to watch to see how stupid it is.

  • i can drive auto and manual transmision.It better learned manual first because it not easy same as auto.so you can drive auto and manual too,

  • Is it only me who can not drive automatic? I only can drive manual - that is so much easier and gives much more sense than automatic.

  • I'm going for my driving test soon and the only reason i've picked automatic is coz its soooo easy and I need to be on the road fast to get the job I'm after. I honestly don't see why some people look down on me for wanting to drive an automatic! Its one less stress to worry about and I couldn't care less about so long as I get where I'm trying to go.

  • I'm only watching this because I'm about a year behind for having the ability for LEGAL driving. I almost driven before, but I wasn't ready.

    I sure hope that when the next time comes, I get this one down so I can get my Permit.

    I'm 13 1/2 and going on 14.

  • I've been driving stick all my life and I found automatic difficult to drive :(

  • @jsiszero i'm only comfortable and totally confident and at ease when driving manual/stick shift. But with automatic i feel somewhat disconnected when i have to slow down during traffic. Feels like i'm about to fall off my seat sometimes! Any insight on this???

  • I honestly can't get my head around why i would ever want to drive an automatic when im perfectly capable of changing gears myself. It's just sheer laziness.

  • i wish u were my dad dude

  • guys lets just face it, people have their own decisions in life, so please dont judge if they drive an automatic transmission,, its their decision. Not just because its easy, but it has its own difference in manual cars such as no clutch replacement etc.

    P.S -- i dont hate manual cars, i drive them. because i own one. i just posted this to help some people understand that number of drivers in the world are not just drivin A/T to make it easy for them.

  • if you've played MARIO KART you already know how to drive an automatic

  • bahahahaha kid stuff.. where's the fun in driving go-kart style ?? 

  • @kingofpop897 You are 12 and you drive? Yeah right! You are way too young to get your driving license! That's illegal!

  • What kind of nissan is that

    

  • @Rockk12121

    Auto is actually pleasurable driving, it's pretty chill. No need to have to even put any effort into it.

  • @eaglewings8 thats why I got an automatic, regardless of the smack people would give me. I don't care, I wanted a chill ride, and that's what I got. When I cruise, I'm so chill..

  • It's 2011, people shouldn't hate on Auto cars.

    No need for an outdated, old as fuck counterintuitive system.

  • @eaglewings8 Im not seeing how it is outdated or counterintuitive, considering that a manual transmission is stil 15% more efficient than any automatic thanks to a direct connection in the power train and not a fluid drive.

  • and in a manual car, you have more control of it, eg. in the winter months

  • who saw his spit when he talk at 0:17

  • automatic cars are for lazy people where as good Europeans know how to drive properly

  • In Europe, automatic cars are pretty much rare. Driving automatic is equal to driving a bike, while driving manual on the other hand is HELL, especially a petrol one!

  • @axyflion not really rare where i live there are loads of autos, depends where you are in europe

  • I followed your rules but yet i crashed....fail

  • tiptronic is the best

  • u spit to much bro. but other wise this helps alot thx!

  • im 12 and my parents taught me how to drive. they brought me to an empty field and let me drive. I tried manual and it was difficult. But thats because im 12.

  • @VinnyboiiDeezy omg i drive too today and im 12 too ;) i drove manual to and it was hella difficult D: omg when i released the cluth and tried to drive ( stamp on the gas ) it like '' jumped '' . u need to do it very easy ( to release the clutch otherways it will turn off ( the car :D )

  • 0:50 - 0:54

    Shift "inana" drive

  • how to drive automatic: right pedal to go, left pedal to stop.

    oh and use stering wheel to change direction

  • @MrJudas666666 yep thats about it.....and use blinkers so people will know when your turning directions...other then that...yeahh..Its that simple.

  • @MrJudas666666 formula one cars uses no clutch, although they are called semi automatic, its still automatic.

  • @MrJudas666666 its so easy:D

  • Automatic is TOOOOOOOOOOOOO EASY! wish that was all we had in the UK so i could take my driving test with Automatic instead of Manual "/

  • with a manual when do you shift up gears please reply

  • @spokes121 when you hear the engine

  • @spokes121 when you hear the engine revving alot or check the rev meter and if its all over the place then you need to change gear

  • can u show us how to reverse out of a parking spot

  • I'm gonna drive Today. Yaaa :D

  • i have never drove a auto car all manual all the way.

  • i had no idea the amish community was interested?! 

  • you have to be pretty stupid to not know how to drive auto

  • @thegalmanater Lots of people outside America don't have access to automatic cars, so we do need videos like this when learning how to shift our skills from manual to auto. It's not "stupid" at all.

  • I love automatic cars i am go for my first lesson this week

  • I am watching this just because everyone complains when I am driving automatic. :(

  • @richu27 whho caressss

  • @KGGurlDancee I don't. But everyone who sits with me when I am driving does.

  • @richu27 Arab.

  • @richu27 r u asian

  • @richu27 check this out -> memebase.com/2011/08/08/memes-­rage-comics-wait-until-you-hav­e-to-start-on-a-hill/

  • @richu27 awww lol

  • im 12 andmy dad tought me everything i need incase of emergency

  • Thanks from the uk , I have never touched or driven a automatic but seen my mum and dad drive their kia Sedona which is auto but now i need to learn how drive a auto because of a coordination problem which makes gearing for me very diffcult and i am having real trouble with the clutch.

  • THANKS SIR!!:)) HELP ALOT GOD BLESS

  • how to drive an automatic:slowly and ineficiently

  • D, press the paddle, and avoid obstacles

  • BOOM HEADSHOT!

  • typical americans, need a video on how to push a pedal for go and a pedal for stop.

  • @petechett The video was clearly made for someone who is only familiar with a manual transmission. It immediately assumed you knew how to drive a manual and started with the differences -- i.e. no clutch pedal. In North America that wouldn't be a lot of people.

  • @petechett Actually this vid was for me, an european, to help me figure what the hell to do with the left foot during driving an automatic.

  • I'm was only 11 and I got a hold of the steering wheel for the first time. I drove okay, but seriously, driving kind of scares me.

  • Comment removed

  • i have been driving for a long time and i never knew how to drive an automatic transmission. i always loved manual transmission for it's responsiveness

  • having driven manuals and autos i find a manual in an urban high traffic area is just punishing youre self and can get pretty uncomfortable. an automatic allows you to relax much more. I don't see why some people act like it is some kind of competition between driving an auto or manual. at the end of the day you only need to get to ur destination. thats the only reason for even beign in a car is for transport. its easier to drin youre coffe with a auto than a manul. hydration is essential

  • @210482fmj I'm driving a manual right now because it's cheaper but I like to drive auto.

    However, I'm afraid there are three kind of people:

    1. The ones that don't like cars.

    2. The ones that want a car because it's useful.

    3. The ones that want a car which is fun to drive.

    You're in the second category.

    Everybody is different, and everybody likes or dislikes cars for different reasons.

  • @mathieuemi666 the only reason for beign in a car is to drive to ur destination. there is no other reason anybody drives unless you are doing a track day on a race track. It's about purphouse. All cars are the same to drive regardless how much power you have. they all run on rubber tyres and 4 wheels. There all the same. havign different power does not alter the theory of how a car works. a car is still a car. every car runs on rubber tyres

  • @210482fmj Sorry, but I think 100% enthousiasts and people that knows something about it can tell you this is completely wrong.

    First, what do you think is the reason of existence of "cabriolets" and other 2-seaters?

    Why do you think we have a radio in our car (only in the case you're stucked in a tunnel?)

    I ride a bike with friends we go from A to B and back to A. So there was no destination! Then why did we do it?

    All cars are different. An offroad vhc is very different from a supercar!!!

  • @mathieuemi666 that depends how you look at it. 

  • @210482fmj so true, traffic on a manual is just horrible and nerve wrecking, automatic is so much mmore chill just press a pedal. but manuals are so fun

  • Seriously!!!!!!!! i didnt know it would be tht easy or i would bought automatic from the start haha. but honestly i somehow enjoy the manual and clutch drive, but in same time it gave me hard time at the beginning of my driving days as i wasnt push so hard on it so the stick gets stuck from me lol..... grt video

  • THE TITLE SHOULD SAY, HOW ASIANS SHOULD DRIVE A AUTOMATIC CAR

  • sorry i was looking at my previous comment i meant IM the noob, not you haha

  • thanks i actually learned something :-) from a noob at driving!

  • @BigAmbitionProd I let you watch it. Ok, think about this: if someone spends time to make a video that doesn't make that video usefull.

  • Automatic is better if you live in a big city with intensive traffic

  • @BigAmbitionProd u told him hahah.. i hate how people talk crap about the u.s but without us during the ww2 europe would have been tooken over by hitler..

  • Americans are that stupid that make educational videos for driving automatic cars? WTF?!

  • @ciutacu You too.

  • @bipinformprotect me what? I have driven manuals all my life. This is REAL driving!

  • he spits everywhere o.O

  • i was looking for something that will teach me how to drive a car from completely no knowledge because im too young to learn driving. is there such a video?

  • IDK WTF IM HERE I WAZ LOOKING FOR MANUAL

  • If somebody learnt something that they found difficult, but they managed, I suppose seeing somebody else doing the same thing effortlessly will make them grind their teeth. Driving manual cars used to make a lot of sense in the past (easier to maintain, less gas, more speed, etc) but that has chenged. Many begginers are choosing automatic for they don´t want to waste precious time learning something unnecessary in this century.

  • which one is better ?

    Manual or Automatic??

  • @AviatorHD for womans auto.

  • @manyasospapa i got a 400hp auto mustang u down to race

  • @AviatorHD Automatic hands down. Safety, concentration, health, ...

    However, old automatic transmission have shown to use a lot of petrol, and automatic cars use more brakes than GOOD manual transmission drivers (however, what I see on the road doesn't prove that at all).

  • @mathieuemi666 Also, manuals tend to last longer when the driver knows what they are doing.

  • @boulespuantes The only difference is the gearbox, right? I know very solid automatic transmission. Just look at taxis all over the world with a million km and an automatic gearbox.

    Automatic cars can go far as well, if you respect the mechanics (no full-throttle and max RPM after cold start, no long periods of high RPM heating the engine. No 500 m or 1/2 mile trips, no hard launches and starting too fast.

    However, I hear all day long people saying they've to change their clutch after 90 kkm...

  • learn to drive manual.... lazy yanks

  • "how to wipe your ass"

  • no idiot u need both legs for drifting!

  • LOL, whats there to learn

  • automatics arent real cars. seriously, get a manual. Your not a real man until you learn to drive a manual.

  • i thought manual cars were distinct i really did but i c yall utubers still talkin about it so i think manual is a big waste of time like y by a manual car when u can get an autmatic and all u stupid idiots talkin about u cant drive if u dont know how to drive manual just bc u drive manual doesnt mean youre driving thats not the definition of driving driving is knowing how to keep your car on the road wen in motion not sure but i know the definition isnt manual car so gtfo please

  • i have a friend.. im teaching her to drive an a/t and u know i said to step on the brake she stepped on the gas!i guess she was confused! i was so nervous because im teaching her how to u turn and when i said reverse she did not even step on the brake before reversing!!...she's always on the very very side of the road sometimes i think we're just going to bump in a gutter! thank god there's no cars that time

  • i am so scared of driving some one help me to remember the wheel nd tire (rotation) situation....it confuses me

  • @HardWorkPaysOff09 usually on your steering wheel, theres the car company's logo. when the logo is right side up, the wheels are straight. its easy.

  • @appleintosh what about an Audi...?

  • From 1 to 2... 3 seconds?

  • Comment removed

  • im scared to get in da road.

  • this video is made for idiot people who never take before a car or what?

  • Can anyone teach me the symbols for automatic gear? Like P, R, D, 3, 2, 1 etc.. ? Please teach me when to change to which gears.. Thanks! :D

  • @Kenneth9725 P is for park, R for reverse, D for drive, 3 for locking ur transmission in 3rd gear, 2 for locking ur transmission in 2nd and 1 for locking in 1st, u'll have to stop ur car in park, it will lock the wheels like e-brake, and after starting press the brake peddle and shift into D to drive or shift in R for reversing the car, u can use gears 3,2,1 for ur ease on steeps and in bad weather conditions. sorry for my bad english

    Hope that helped.

    Regards

  • @Devilshionfly no, your english is good. thanks!! but I'm still abit confused on those 3 2 1 gears. ok for example, if im about to go up a mountain, should i change to 3 or 1? And, I must step on the brake peddle and then change?

  • @Kenneth9725 it depends that if ur car is getting under load then u can shift down to 2 or 1 and no u can shift these gears normally, only from P to R, R to D or P to R are shifted after stopping. not quite sure about the peddle thing, :-s

  • do you also have to press the brake when you start the car?

  • @racingfan1083 not really, if ur car is in Park its okey to start it without brake

  • Comment removed

  • i dont need this! im 12 and i know how to drive a manual .

  • @MrDudezProductionz MEEEE tooo but im only 11!

  • @MrDudezProductionz im 50 and i dont know how to drive

  • @manyakols9 haha

  • @Theshofumiah1 because in park you don't need to use your handbrake 

  • People can do this without lessons if you can drive a manual.

  • im great at driving, last year i got 12 points

  • EWWW, if you look closely while he is talking, HE FREAKIN SPIT EVERYWHERE!!!

  • im so scared to learn how to drive my dad used to yell at me and scare me i dont know if i can drive

  • Comment removed

  • @pcigroot For the people that can actually drive. Gtfo.

  • @AndyBubbi looooooool

    

  • @locomoco453 if youre talkin about Brits youre totally right!

  • im 15 and can drive automatic with my eyes closed,although it is frowned upon the driving instructor!

  • THANKS

  • is there really a point for this video? put it into drive and go

  • @BALJIT147 its not as simple as that. I drive manual. I tried driving automatic once in my whole life, and it was out of my comfort zone! when you get in to a automatic for the first time(especially a sports car, u get nervous as there is not clutch-hence no biting point. it feels as if when ur in the red traffic lights and ur scared u will crash stright in to the bumper of a expensive sports car in front of you. it feels very awkard to gas as there is no control like the cluth in a manual.

  • @Theshofumiah1 first few things i ever drove were manual(before i had my license and in another country on vacation and steering wheel on opposite side) and then all the cars after that including the one i own now are automatic, don't see a big difference

  • @BALJIT147 Yep, but you know. There are a lot of people (especially) women that are just very afraid to drive differently and it helps to know the basics.

    The gear selector isn't obvious for everyone. Yeah "P, D, and R" is all what you should know, but you can usually find "D-3, 2, L, S, +, -, N" and it seems very complicated first if you have no idea what is this about and you are afraid to break something.

  • @BALJIT147 they are americans

  • @BALJIT147 i know this shit's easy!!.....Stick shift is what looks hard but I want to learn!

  • @shoponline831 it's not hard when you think about it, people think it's hard because other people say it's hard but it's not

  • whooo i just got my temporary license 

  • MANUAL IS BETTER

  • I got a car that's an automatic and it has the letters in the or P, R, D, 3, 2, L(I assume "L" is 1st gear). I read some where that driving in the lower gear is good for stop and go Traffic. Yet in a manual transmission when the car stops, it stalls. Is that true in an automatic too?

  • i'm 12 and i drove my moms car , she let me and i did good

  • great, informative video!

  • automatic driving its just a practice for standard.

  • Who the hell needs to know how to know how to drive an automatic transmission omg, its so simple jus put in drive and GOOOO!!!!!!

  • im 24 years old and i havent drove in my life! cause of my stricted parents so now i moved out...im simply afraid to now. ): please encourage me..

  • @ViewerLauren Stop trying to flirt

  • are people seriously so stupid that there needs to be a video on automatic transmissions? manual transmission videos are bad enough.. but this?

  • @locomoco453

    No your just fat and lazy instead...

  • Yezzus? Are the american so bad to driving? Haha try to drive in Norway and i will promise u ur car will be broken after 15 min in Norway.

  • @mrsimenfaen What is so "hardcore" about Norway drivers?

  • I'm Actually 12 years old and I drive cars a lot!

  • Why can't people just like both? As long as you get to where you want to go that is all that matters.
