We do have an automatic transmission vehicle at home which we consider as our family car. During the first few months of using this van, we believet that this is really a good car but I realize that there are lot of disadvantages of having an automatic transmission car.
First thing first that I observed is that, automatic cars consumed more gas than manual transmission cars.The worst thing that I observed that almost killed me when I drove the car was when the hydraulic hose for the brake were damaged and the brakes no longer holds and my speed was about 80 km per hour. Automatic cars do not have engine brake capacity unlike in manual cars, and the handbrake would not hold that speed of 80 km per hour. Another worst thing that I observed on automatic cars is that, it cannot start if the battery is weak. Meaning, it's source of power is from the battery to starp up. One time for technical problems exist our car did not start because the battery discharged its power. If we used manual transmission cars at that time , for sure we can go home even if no battery is used to start up. Another thing on automatic cars is that it is more expensive its price in the market compared to manual transmission cars..
Well, this is only my opinion and may subject to different views from the readers.. you may counter my opinion to balance the case......Next episode will be the advantages of using automatic transmission vehicle.
