Would like to know why most of the cars sold in MALAYSIA is AUTO??????

Why there is no manual transmission????

auto good. easy to drive.

i almost forgot how to drive a manual car. the last time i drove a manual is like 6-7years ago.

heavy traffic, auto can help ease our left leg

Because car dealers notice the demand for auto cars are much higher than manual ones so why bring in lots of manual ones?

Is bcz M'sian lazy when comes 2 manual stuff..

Im driving a stick......

hehehe i'm second on this!!

plus due to low demand of manual car.. those car dealer stop marketing manual car in Malaysia..

not only in msia, it make sense why auto instead of manual. Mostly only youngsters will want a manual. Also, usually auto has a better 2nd hand value.

now auto transmission is as good as manual transmission...and the TRAFFIC Jam of course

traffic jam at highways during festive season can be record setting. therefore to prevent any risk of injuries to the left leg during festive season, we choose an auto car.

Why not auto

most people only want the car to move about and auto makes it so much easier.

dun have to shift gear, dun have to worry about clutch repair, dun have to care about silap masuk gear and also less chances of the engine being revved to bits.

not only traffic jam. Parking lot also a lot easier.
just get in start, get into gear and go.

Coz technology is meant to ease us off the manual tasks.

Same reason why you'd want a power steering, a hydraulic disc brake or even a motorised power window.

Cause in Malaysia, you don't get to decide what you want in your car...

I still prefer manual anytime. More controls to what my car behave

But of course new car AUTO transmission has improved to a level where it able to be fuel economical too.

Modern auto cars can smoke manual any time... why? Because u just drive and leave the shifting to the computer. Example: VW Golf GTi with DSG.

Anyway, it's not only Malaysia who has more auto cars... even in the US, 90% cars sold over the last 30 years are auto and they can handle high horse power over 800hp!

Do you also prefer manual windows so you can control how fast the window winds down/up?

Just joking ya, no offense intended

why? because many Malaysians prefer using their hands to hold their stick instead? hehe.. kiddin... I think it's auto because of new technology are all focus on auto gears. We have tiptronics, AMT, Selespeed, etc.

for a cow guy who rides a motor, you sure are horny

Audi invented the DSG gearbox. It is the best Auto/manual gearbox in the market today. Only available in Audi's top models and the world's fastest car.

Later both the conventional auto and manual will be phased out here.

cuz it's easier when comes to traffic jam...
