automatic! These days the roads are busy so nice to forget about gears and concentrate on the roads.... My latest car is an automatic and I'd never go back....

Automatic transmission is nice you only worry about break and gas pedals. But manual is the best transmission on my opinion. Have you notice how automatic cars loose speed when going up a hill. That's not the case with a manual transmission. They have more power I think. Plus when you drive manual,and know how to drive good. You don't force the motor. If you learn how to drive a manual, you will be able to learn how to drive bigger cars easily.

If it's a diesel car, definitely a manual. I prefer an automatic because I'm a lazy driver and hate to change gears all the time but they both have their advantages and disadvantages.

Depends on how you were taught to drive. I was taught to drive on the gears and accelerator for control, but now they seem to be taught to drive on the brakes.
At the moment I have a 2litre Mercedes which has an automatic gearbox, but it makes me cringe every time I go around a sharp bend and show my brake lights! I hate drivers that show their brake lights for the slightest reason. I doubt that I am driving very economically because being in the right gear and not having to brake is economical - and as for performance, well, I can always switch to 'sport' but that is even more expensive! Diesel or petrol, doesn't matter - if you have the choice go for manual. As long as you know how to drive properly - that is, look ahead and drive to the conditions.

It used to be that a manual transmission got better gas mileage. Anymore that advantage is either non-existant or miniscule. Buying a manual tranny for fuel economy alone is usually not the reason.
There are various other reasons though - an automatic is usually a $600 "option" so you save right out of the gate if you buy a standard transmission vehicle. Of course if you don't know how to drive it...

Most cars in the United States are automatics. HOWEVER if you want to extract all the performance from "a little smoker" go shift for your self. There are "new" twin clutch manual systems that give you the performance of stick shift and convience of an auto I think AUDI and soon VW, Ferrarri

I prefer the manual.
My husband says with a small engine you definately want the manual. It will give you more power and usually better fuel mileage.
