Default Automatic or Manual?

One to the drivers/learner drivers. Which is best?

If you are in bumper to bumper traffic much prefer a automatic. or if you are just casual driving.

Manual obviously for races or tiptronic.. If you want better perfoamance a manual will be better.

Ill be buying a manual because im 17 lol. but when ive grown out of the boy racer stuff and am just dirving to work ill buy an automatic.

(=





Ohh and my dad bet me that i will crash within 2 weeks of getting my car because i try to go to fast lol.

Manual sucks in huge traffic. But I prefer manual, cause where I lived, there was not a lot of traffic, so the manual gets really boring.
But I dont drive in London anyways, the traffic is horrible, and you have to drive on the wrong side of the road, with the stick on your left! WTF is wrong with you brits?

LOL with a manual I wouldn't seem out of place in Spain

I have serious lack of concentration, not exactly ideal, and I hate driving mega slow, so I hate old people on the road. They should be banned and should be forced to take advantage of their bus pass!!

You should only use one foot on an automatic. Otherwise you might press them both at the same time.
