Grayz Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 To my understanding automatics are worth more than manuals. But every manual head seems to think otherwise. Prove to me why you are right. Ill start the debate off with the fact that automatic transmissions have more parts. Are more advanced in tech. And more expensive to produce overall. So how would a manual akyline be worth more than an auto lol. And autos have tiptronic. Best of both worlds. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/480793-how-are-manuals-worth-more-than-autos/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray_Calavera Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I don't think auto Skylines are cheaper. If you buy one you need to buy a manual gearbox and all the other components to install it. Definitely cheaper to buy an already manual skyline lol 1 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/480793-how-are-manuals-worth-more-than-autos/#findComment-7936373 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve85 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) OP has never driven a good manual car. Autos are wonderful for freeway driving on cruise the family and stop start traffic. That's it, manual is better for driving fun everywhere else. (oh Auto better for drags). Manuals are better for track, twisting roads, even freeway pulls. Double clutching, heel and toe, clutch in revs, choosing your own RPM for launches, flicking the lever through a fast change at the cutout. All these things bring me great joy and satisfaction. Autos are for when I am not interested in driving for fun and simply want to arrive at my destination without any interest in being a hoon or having fun. For what it's worth, a slushbox GTR would suck in my opinion. Edited July 19, 2020 by Steve85 Added drag racing to Auto pros...

Also auto normally does what it wants, not what your want. Also likes to be lazy, sap a lot more engine power, and die randomly, giving you a fun time towing and fixing it. Given that, my latest car is a 2series BMW with 8 speed auto. Will be fun fixing that.
