Manual or Automatic?

Today I don't have a news item. I just have an article I'd like you to read, especially if you live in Europe. It's about the manual vs. automatic transmission debate. I like the style and the conclusion of this article, and I'm sure you will too.

The Manual-Automatic Transmission Debate

Since the dawn of the automatic transmission, there has been a long debate about which type of transmission is better - the manual or the automatic.

It appears that the answer varies from country to country, but it appears that Americans prefer automatic cars while Europeans prefer manuals. When I was in Germany, over 90% of the cars I saw were manual.

Each side has advantages and disadvantages, of course. Manual transmission allows more precise control over the car, which in turn translates into a better gas mileage. However, a manual transmission requires a better driving skill, something that is not required with an automatic transmission. Even more, an automatic transmission is good for city driving, since many gear shiftings are required. But on top of everything, the manual transmission fans claim it's just more fun.

I personally drive an automatic car, but I'd really like to drive a manual one. You know, for the fun.

Have a great weekend,
