das Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Stick shifts...who calls them that? i've always heard em called sticks "Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world."Abraham Lincoln Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iconic Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Although i've never driven a car I have to say that I would prefer an automatic, I just feel they would be much easier to use. Instead of fiddling about to try and stick it in the right place you simply slide to the right place and the car does the rest. Its far easier and therfore far safer, infact I think its ridiculous that people expect you to look at the road while struggling to move this fiddly precision instrument.On the contrary manuals allow the gear stick to change much faster but I don't believe that i'm even going to notice those few milliseconds when it hasn't changed.I would definitely go for an automatic, they are the best.

OldJoe Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 It's not that difficult with a manual. In the beginning when learning to drive it takes a bit of practice, but doesn't take long until you get it and it goes automatic.

Sbrideau Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Manual. I've never driven an automatic car and I won't be buying one for my next car. Manual cars take far less fuel over long distances of time. Also, to whoever said that you have to look at the stick to shift, that's not true. I looked at it for a day or 2 and after 6 years of driving, I have never needed to look at it again, the road get's my attention, never the stick. Plus manual cars are about ~$1,000 less than automatics here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Plus manual cars are about ~$1,000 less than automatics here. Especially with a New car, you save something like $5,000 AU here if you choose manual. Which can be used for extras and/or fuel and whatnot. Popoto.~<3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sa121 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I own an automatic, but it has a nice little feature, which I conveniently forget the name of, that acts as what I call "fake manual." Basically, you shift the stick to the left (on my car) and then you can shift the gears up and down like a manual, except it'll be nice enough to prevent you from over or under revving. Pretty good compromise if you ask me. Also, for those saying you don't like the lack of power in autos - I can honestly say I've never found a need to downshift gears where just pushing down the pedal wasn't good enough. Not sure where you would have a need like that, unless you're racing.

OldJoe Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 New question: Why do people still call stick shifts "standard" when the standard is now obviously automatic.Depends on where you live. If i had a guess, i would say that if you picked out 100 cars where i live, i would guess about 5 would be auto. It's really unusual here.

Dracion1 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 The law here in the UK is that if you learn in an automatic you can only drive an automatic (apologies if someone pointed this out before); so pretty much everywhere teaches with manuals unless you're disabled, or specifically ask to learn in an automatic. I get the impression anyway that more people drive manuals here anyway, compared to when I've been on holiday in the US and the hire cars generally seem to be automatics. Idk though, I'm used to driving a manual car and will probably continue to do so. "In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serpent Eye Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Well, I've never really driven a manual car, so I guess I'd have to say Automatic by default. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like: if you can only drive an auto, your licence should say so and therefore you shouldn't be able to drive manual.We have that in Australia, sort of. When you go from your L (Learner) licence to your P1 (Provisional or Red P's as we call it), if you go for the test in auto your only allowed to drive an auto, manual you can drive both. But when you get to P2 (aka green P's - Me) you can drive a manual again. I basically did this because the only car I could get and afford was auto so i didnt have a choice back then even though I can drive manual.

Wavemasta Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Stick shift!Driving is just too boring when all you have to do is push down that gas pedal. Having to shift just makes it more fun for me. Plus, manuals never shift properly.Even when I decided I wanted to get a moped I wanted it to have multiple gears, just to be a little more badass :) Credits to Littleboy for the signature.
