Hello,

So I've had a lot of talk with people and a lot of people have asked me what kind of car they should get. Weather it be a Manual or an Automatic.

In my opinion I would definitely say Manual because you get full control of your car. You physically change the gears and it's a new learning experience and it's fun and makes driving fun.

Fun fact: I've owned an Audi S7 when I was 16 and learned to drive Manual a few months after getting my Audi then got boring driving around my Audi so I've decided to return it back (Leased) and buy a 2009 Ford Mustang GT premium (Manual) and it's definitely a game changer.

So what kind do you prefer?

Manual adds like 10-15 horsepower automatically so I think its safe to say the winner :p
It's also a faster transmission then an automatic.

I looked up how long it would take for a 2009 Ford Mustang GT take from 0-60 and automatics were 6.5 while a manual was 5.1 seconds.

I say manuals are the fastest way to go besides an Audi R8 since they have the fastest transmission system in the world.

I would have fucking loved to drive your s7, a7 is my favorite sedan :D

Yeah I love Audi and that virtual cockpit on the 2017 doe
It was nice to drive for a while.

It just sucks cause I could not find a manual for those type of models. So I've moved onto a mustang. Something I've wanted since I was a kid.

I think I'll get an Audi as my 2nd vehicle when I'm older. It's still a beautiful car.

It's very sad people voted Automatic. Don't know how you don't want to get to know your car and physically change gears. Although it is more work but it allows you to stay off your technology and keep your hands busy.

I finally got licences and got myself a bmw 318d e90 2009 manual of course. Because with manual you can basiclly all kinda stupid and fun stuff. I honestly wanted manual just because I can practice using manual gearbox for future reason. If one day you have to drive some else's car and it just happen to be manual then your pretty much fckedup. Sure why not automatic but atleast first car should be manual in my opinion.

I see it as first car automatic because if you're getting your license you'll have a harder time parallel parking and trying not to stall in the middle of the test.

But for pursuing a car at any age anyone can get anything but I suggest manual cause you become a real pro at the young age when you become older and it's fun.

I don't know if 16 is too young, but getting a car isn't my main priority right now seeing that when I'm 18 I'm going to need to go to army, so my car will just collect dust. In Israel all boys need to go to the army.
Jesus Christ.

That's sad if that's the case. I would say good luck in the army but you're not fighting for my country so Kappa

Not sure if it's like this in other countries, but I'm Australia to go onto your "Learners" plates you either pick manual or automatic.

If you pick automatic and you do 120 hours with it and you decide in the future you want to drive an auto you have to relearn it, obviously not as long but you need to do it for some time so you're road safe
Yea that's nothing compared to America. In America it's 1000 times easier in our tests and has nothing to do with our future cars lmao.
