@gabbydadiva actually manual usually get you more concetrated in driving, you are constantly more active, also they are much more direct, and are when in gear always linked to the engine, traditionally automatics disconect gears when the drivers lifts of the gas and thus consume more gas!! Gotta love manuals...

Screw Manual....the cars feel like they're made out of cardboard at least Automatics can let you concentrate on the road ahead without constantly making annoying movements.

Some modern CVT autos are more fuel efficient that their Manual counterparts also they have lower carbon ratings if thats something that you care about.

In philippines, driver's tests are done in manuals, except if you have a disability with one of your limbs.

@ narrator, personally i think standards are easier in stop in go traffic, ride the clutch instead of tap the gas and then try to slam back on the brake
