to be honest hor ... after driving auto for a while, you'll find it hard to adapt to a manual one again .....
last time I drove a friend's manual car on a long road trip, I si chia a a few times at intersections, so embarrassing .... 
-
auto can adapt la.. so much easier, less things to think about. no need to worry whether ur car will stall or roll down slope etc etc
-
Auto car is good..one hand on steering wheel, the other hand is free. Sometimes if hungry still can munch food using the free hand.
-
for auto adapt to manual cannot in a short time , but for manual to auto in a short time can

tong gia tong gia

manual to auto > easy
auto to manual > hard -
Now after driving auto for so long, i don't think i'll wanna touch a manual car again.. spoilt by the convenience of the auto gearbox.

Not a problem. Only thing is now got problem driving a manual car smoothly.

-
The only thing to rmb when driving an auto car is just to use 1 leg. Dont use 2 legs! haha
-
No, cannot. I always attempt to shift the gears, stomp on the left foot rest, and pull up the handbrake at the traffic lights.

Way easier to adapt. I suppose.

over here (USA) there is no distinction made between manual and automatic transmission equipped vehicles as far as getting a license is concerned. a car is a car, the trans doesn't matter.

I've never owned a vehicle with an auto tranny; both of my current cars have manual trannies.Originally posted by skid:over here (USA) there is no distinction made between manual and automatic transmission equipped vehicles as far as getting a license is concerned. a car is a car, the trans doesn't matter.
Some years ago, a group of friends and I were driving out of state to attend a convention. It was an 8-hour drive; we were riding in a friend's Honda Accord with an auto tranny, and it was decided that we would share in the driving chores. When it came my turn to drive, everything was fine until we entered a small farming community and approached a four-way stop intersection. As I was coasting to a stop, my left foot instinctively extended to push in the non-existent clutch pedal, and found the left edge of the wider-than-normal brake pedal instead.
This had the immediate effect of locking up all four wheels--I didn't think to release the "clutch" pedal, as it's normal practice to keep it depressed to disengage the tranny when coming to a complete stop.
After we skidded to a stop, it was rightfully decided by all aboard that I should be relieved of driving duties for the remainder of the outbound and return trip.
Moral of the story: do not assume that a driver of a car with a manual tranny can seamlessly transition to driving a car with an auto tranny.

If you are a new driver, you might have some problems for a start adapting to both transmissions.
For seasoned drivers, some may find it hard to adapt, especially from auto to manual. I bet there are hell lots of people out there who have not driven a manual trans car since they passed the driving test.
In the end, it all boils down to how frequently you get the chance to drive manual and auto trans cars. I have got 2 cars at home, one manual and one auto and I seriously find no difference between the two. -
Hmmm.. from manual to auto: I drive a manual car now, and occasionally when I am asked to drive auto, it feels a bit weird cos I keep wanting to press my clutch!
as it is though, the conversion from auto to manual is more difficult. When i first started driving manual again, I had to 'practise' for a while before I could get my gear shifting in shape.
