    If you want to learn how to drive safely, automatic.
    If you want to have fun while driving, manual.

    A manual transmission requires more of your attention. It connects you to the car and the road. It gives you more control over your gas mileage and torque. Forget about texting and driving.
    My first few cars were automatic. I bought a car with manual transmission when I was about 20 years old. It took me about 10 minutes to figure out how to drive it and an hour to become proficient.

    If I were a father, I would mandate my kid to drive automatic. People on the road are dangerous and there’s far too many distractions. Learn how to drive first. That means learning how to deal with your environment and making quick decisions.
