The people stating that automatics are causing accidents/distractions are simply insane. These "MT Only" guys will pull out all the stops to make the case that a MT is the ONLY transmission that should be offered...

if someone could make a torque converter auto that has supercar like shift speeds but has a third pedal that controls the hydraulic fluid in the torque converter. when depressed the torque converter disengages like a manual so you can kick the clutch to do a drift that would be golden

the notion that MT forces you to be more attentive is based on what exactly? "logic"? you do more, thus you have to pay more attention? im sorry, but the very existence of "muscle memory" already disputes that notion. so i really dont know why people continuously propagate this myth... |

Is it easier to learn on an auto or a manual? Therefore does learning and getting tested on a manual make it more difficult to get a license? Would it be one small step towards a more stringent and effective licensing system?

Just curious how many people took their exam in a manual?
I took my test in my own manual car, but the common thinking was, learn on manual, test on auto.

I had an 81 Corolla SR5 5-speed that I learned on but I used my aunt's early 90's VW Cabriolet with the top down for the test. Parking is sooo much easier when you have no visual obstructions lol

Well, this thread turned predictably to shit. Just like every other AT vs MT thread in the history of the internet.
Actually, the OP is pushing the exact opposite notion, that the MT will no longer be offered, simply because automatics have gotten better. Driving experience be damned.

he said "lock up feature" which means early lock up. for example the IS-F has lock up on gears 2-8 in manual mode. even though most cars have lock up torque converters, many of them dont lock up unless you're cruising.
