Automatic Transmission vs Manual Transmission
in Cars
Debra AI Prediction
Arguments
If you enjoy immersing yourself into the tiny details and in fact are more likely to focus less if the driving process is too easy to stimulate your brain, manual is better.

For regular transportation cars which you aren't going to take on a track or off the road, manual transmission makes little sense, unless it is something that gives you more enjoyment out of driving. For me, the fewer unneeded controls, the better, so I go with automatic.

If you have to cars that are exactly the same other than the fact that one has manual and one doesn't. If you race them on a straight level and dry path. With experienced drivers in both, the manual will win.

I was in Spain for most of my last jobs before retirement (Around 9/11/ 2001). Most rentals were manual shift. It was more fun to drive than I'd had for a while! I had two projects going at once and had to drive between Zaragoza and a small city in the mountains called Olot. I found a road through the mountains I loved, almost no traffic, hairpin curves, short straights, winding areas. I was pretty exhausted by the time I got to the end (22Km, out of shape :-)! Later I found out that the road was a part of an international road race route. An automatic is nice 'n easy, but, no FUN!

I have a blast every time I drive my lovely Ford Fusion Hybrid. Lack of a shift stick simply means that I can focus more on the process and less on the mechanics of the process. My car combines a near-luxury level of comfort with pretty sporty driving dynamics, and I can do corners like a boss and be fully in control.
The only problem is, off-roading is nearly non-existent. The two times that I attempted it, both times I got stuck and required someone's help to pull me out. But that goes for any sedan, automatic or not.

That's my pet peeve. I absolutely HATE that some mfrs are substituting the shift lever with a stupid knob.
My car is NOT a WASHING MACHINE, thank you very much.
