Auto easily. Who needs to do more work whilst driving?

Both have advantages and disadvantages. Chalk and cheese, for mine.
Depending on what car you drive, though, and where.

Auto. Makes something ****ty easier. No difference to me anyway, dislike driving in general.
Breakout Champion! I actually do believe that cars are for lazy bums.
Had a licence for well over a decade & have never once driven an automatic. Reckon I'd be ghost-clutching at every junction.

Autos are boring, and I believe they make driving so easy and unengaging that they make people complacent, and that's dangerous.

Use more petrol too.
Meh, only had autos at home to use to get my P's. Limits options a bit. What I have driven of manuals I've enjoyed though.
TBH, I can see manuals as something I'd enjoy for the first 6 months, then after that couldn't be bothered.
Don't drive yet, but see nothing wrong with manuals.
Manuals for sure, i learnt to drive on an auto at first but my first car was a manual and they are heaps better to drive. My dad's car is an auto and whenever i drive that i always go to put my foot on the clutch by instinct...
I was under the impression that if you only pass your test on an automatic, you're not licensed to drive a manual?
yeh thats true, but i got my first car before i got my provisional licence. So i was already competent on road skills and that, just needed to learn how to drive the manual, ony took a month or so.
