Manual or automatic?

[Danbeast]

Automatic. I can't speak to what I don't know or need. Although I'm sure when I do learn I'll favor the dexterity of manual.

I drive an automatic and it is convienient, however driving stick was a lot of fun and I would go back for sure

@rainyguy woah, good luck! What has made you want to be a trucker?

Manual. We only drive Toyota and Mitsibushi Colt.

I hate manual.

I'm American and I much prefer manual transmission. Three of my four cars have been manual, and it took me so long to get my current car because it was so hard to find a manual.

I passed exams and got driving licence for automatic gearbox cars. Also I prefer automatic, is much easier to operate while driving.

I like them both, depending on the road and conditions.

I prefer automatic because I get stress out when driving so one less thing to worry about is nice

When I started driving there were no automatics but after they came out that was my favorite. Also I think they are a major safety since you are not shifting gears.

Manual for me.
More power to the wheels, more fun, more simplistic.
If auto, a good one like the zf8-hp with flippers at the wheel, or the pdk of porche.

How is shifting gears "unsafe"?

Automatic cars require less skill and attention to drive, so I wouldn't be surprised if statistically, automatic cars are less safe.

Just need more low end torque/horsepower. I've driven cars with an automatic that could break the tires loose by just mashing the throttle.

Synchronized transmission I vote manual. Just because fun and I don't drive that much.
Non synchronized transmission I opt for automatics. Mostly because they are more safe, and I drive like 10 or more hours a day all week all month all year hauling 50 plus tons. Shifting gets old.

BTW, I prefer a manual but don't mind driving an automatic.
