Poll: Auto Trans vs Manual

Brian R · 03-30-2007, 04:05 PM

Which Transmission do you prefer?

ZFJCruiser · 03-30-2007, 06:05 PM

Selected the automatic:

Nicer for daily driving in traffic

Better gas mileage

Limited use off road

Did not want full time 4x4

That about covers it -

You got to pay me to shift...

if the FJC came with only a stick there'd be less hummerwannabedouches driving them.

because hummer owners are too stupid to work a clutch.

I wanted part time 4wd t-case so went with Auto. Out of dozen 4x4s I've owned this is my 3rd Auto. Manual vs Auto depends on preference plus type of on & off road wheeling one does. For sheer durability & hard core wheeling I would say manual wins

My wifes MCS is a 6-speed, so I get to shift on a regular basis. My Discovery was a stick, whereas my Range Rover was an auto- I prefer suvs with the auto. I also decided to go with the AT because it is better in city driving, plus cruise control is better suited to an auto. I do wish it were an awd system though!

Cheers,

Paul.

Manual. I would rather be involved in driving.

I actually prefer manual but tend to be hard on clutches and didn't want the expense of replacement a few years down the road so went for AT, which isn't as capable offroad, or as much fun to drive, but hopefully will serve me better in the long run....and no, I can't change my driving habits
