As you probably know, there are typically two types of transmissions for your vehicle; automatic and manual. Since only around 4% of cars sold in 2013 were manual, you’re probably more comfortable with the automatic. But if you’ve ever wondered the differences between manual and automatic transmission, here’s a quick breakdown of the pro’s of each.
Manual Advantages
- Generally known for better gas mileage (up to 15% better than automatic, varying)
- Easier and less expensive to maintain (usually the most seen problem is the clutch)
- More control over your vehicle
Automatic Advantages
- Easier to learn to drive than a manual
- Less stress on your mind and your body
- More prevalent on the market
