Automatic Driving Vs Manual Transmission Driving

What’s so special about a stick shift car? It just seems like more work and a big headache by inexperienced drivers and people who never drove a manual vehicle before. Truthfully speaking, the only hard part is not even hard. Driving manual has a bit of a learning curve. A little experience will surely get someone comfortable with it. Now making it second nature may take a little a little more time. Adding a more stressful learning environment may aid in a quicker pick up. Driving lessons in NYC will make you a champ in no time!

Here are some differences of automatic and stick shift/manual transmission:

*

Vehicles with manual transmission will naturally feel rougher than their automatic counterpart. Without a torque converter, power is distributed directly from the engine to the wheels with no interruption.

*

Contrary to popular belief, manual driving in big cities like NYC or in high traffic areas is not difficult to an experienced driver. For a lesson however, heavy traffic areas are more difficult to learn in, but same goes for someone who is first learning how to drive period, right?

*

Driving stick shift can give you more control of the car and improve gas mileage when effectively shifting.

*

Automatic driving is boring! Learn stick shift/manual transmission and make driving fun again.

*

99% of the world drives stick shift/manual transmission. Learn and join the rest of the world’s driving experience.

Once you make manual driving second nature. There wont be any reason to choose automatic over manual. In fact, you’ll end up feeling more comfortable with the manual car and appreciate its responsive nature!

In the United States, many find it hard to learn to drive manual. There is a lack of availability when it comes to manual vehicle and not many schools offer driving lessons for manual. I’m probably the only person in NYC that teaches stick shift exclusively. You can check out my website: http://www.nycdrivinglessons.com to get a better idea. I started this service to help friends and relatives around me who needed to learn in order to travel, for employment purposes and some even for personal interest.

My experience in teaching this lost art has made me appreciate everyone who puts effort in trying to drive stick shift. Everyone learns in their own ways and everyone eventually gets it. I hope to see more encouragement from fellow Americans to pursue this lost art!

Happy driving everyone!
