With an automatic transmission, you just push on the accelerator and the transmission shifts all by itself. A manual transmission ("stick shift") means that the driver must coordinate operating the clutch and shifting to change gears.
Pro automatic: easier to drive, especially in city traffic.
Con automatic: more maintenance and repair.
Pro manual: theoretically more economical. Greater feeling of control and enjoyment of motoring. Theoretically better performance.
Con manual: sometimes difficult skill to master. Is very tedious in city driving.
In the USA about 95% of cars are automatics.
