so? i saw him kena flame from other forummers at 4gtuners forum for disrespect.

he was moderator oso wad....

Yup..

Only whimps prefer AUTO :

semiauto is the best

our petrol cheap mah

another macho man!

even in Singapore their City.. Vios ...Jazz... Yaris n Civic does offer manual transmission...

But then, what if somene bought a Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren? Are they whimps too?

that one different case adi la... SLR only has auto tranny.... u got no choice if ur dream car is SLR....

what diff case...

dtm spec car oso auto wad.. lame excuse

I know why now all prefer auto instead of manual;

1) Due to the traffic jams all the time
2) Scare at stopping at the hill. (Manual, if not don't know control then engine will die mah)=P
3) Due to some lazyness.

But i still driving manual car and i like manual car. Cause if driving manual car, Is me control the car power and if driving Auto car, is the car control the power.

thats why i prefer JDM cars...

running away again?

manual is fun
Auto is ok for cruising and when ure not-in-the-mood-to-drive-but-u-have-to.

But nowadays, Auto gearboxes are more responsive compared to 10 years back. They are more intelligent too.

For me, When i change a car in the future, I would prefer a semi-auto..or sumthing with tiptronic.. Can have a lil bit of both worlds.

and as for the topic, just look at traffic conditions in the major cities nowadays. Bad road infrastructure coupled with the attitudes of malaysian drivers.... Best. Not a lot of ppl would want to put up with manual to jam..especially not after work. lol.

Long distance travelling of course Auto car better.

I thought only traffic jams.. while long distance even at manual... your leg just need 2 press the accelerator unless stuck in traffic jam...

Actually for long distance the auto would be better especially if the car comes with cruise control. Most of the newer ones actually downshift to hold the car back if you're going down a slope. No more nasty tickets.

I don't bother using cruise control even when I was driving for 9 hours non-stop. But yeah in a highway, manual/auto really got no differences.

But if youre stuck on the highway with festive-period-jams that stretches up to several kilometers then there will be a diffrence

Newer auto technology now also very responsive already.....so much better than last time. Drove my uncle's EVO 7 GTA once, although I use auto at that time, it still satisfies me a lot....very responsive

And it boils down to the driver's preferences too...

Although I prefer manual, but in some circumstances, auto still has its benefits.

but still the Evo 7.5(which means auto) cant beat the Evo 7 manual.. with over 1 second of difference in 0-100 acceleration...
