Here we go again. It doesn't seem to matter what the subject is it always turns into a MT vs AT debate.
Some prefer MT some prefer AT. Why can't it just be left at that? It's getting so old....Every thread turns into this stupid debate. |

I personally don't mind what people prefer at the end of the day. I just get annoyed when someone calls an automatic vehicle "involving", it rubs me up the wrong way. And maybe... the new supra only available in Auto is a sign of things to come. It's going to be a sad day when the manual transmission is gone.

Why? I mean, I much prefer MT personally, but it sure doesn't bother me that others may prefer AT. Should it bother me that some people like to decorate their homes with bright colors, while I prefer earth tones? Different likes for different tykes.. that's all. Even as an MT supporter/enthusiast/end-user/proponent/fancodger, I can understand how AT COULD be more involving to those who prefer it. "Driving" can be defined as anyone wishes, and defining it as careful integration of visual and tactile input with manipulation of the steering, throttle, and brake to achieve desired outcomes would certainly work. For those who wish to concentrate on those variables without the added workload of manually selecting and moving between gears using two additional controls (shift lever and clutch) and additional throttle manipulation, the act of "driving," i.e., steering and throttling through a course, could very well BE more involving without the "distraction" of having to also shift gears manually. There's also an undeniable physical aspect to MT that, as we all age, becomes slightly less attractive when hip, knee, and or back pain come into play. Pain is distracting, not involving. Having said all of that, for ME, I've shifted enough that it is no longer a thought process, but rather an instinctive physical reaction to sound and feel. I enjoy it, and I do find that it is a more "involving" driving experience for me. Knock on wood, the little aches and pains that occasionally crop up usually don't interfere with my enjoyment of MT driving... but sometimes they do. I can see a time when MT could become more of a chore and less of a joy. Quote:
For me, too. It will be a sad day for all of us who prefer MT. Those who prefer AT probably won't care at all. Welcome to the world... it's ok. Stuff doesn't always work out.

I would agree except this thread is about the Supra "killing" the Twins and since the Supra is only available (I will bet it will never change) in AT the debate is relevant to the topic.

My BRZ is at the dealership to fix an oil leak before the warranty runs out (97K miles--just in time!), so I'm driving a loaner Impreza with those silly paddle shifters. I've been playing with them. They are absolutely no substitute for a real manual transmission. People who say they are instantly mark themselves as having no idea whatsoever what they're talking about. I'm sure having paddle shifters is more fun than not having them, but characterizing them as being as engaging as a manual is like insisting you don't bother having sex with other people because masturbation is just as good. |
