This is the best automatic explanation video I have seen. I used to panic that once I had set off I immediately had to gauge how much acceleration I needed and press the acceleration pedal. I realise now in an automatic I don't have to. That's a fundamental difference to me as a very nervous learner. Its something a driving tutor should point out at the point of a first lesson ideally but wasn't. I am enjoying your videos.

When I was 18 I was learning to drive on a manual car and it was not a very pleasant experience as I failed my driving exam 3 times because I would get so anxious that I would stall the car in traffic. I decided that driving was not for me. But then after few years I decided to try again but this time with an automatic car. I couldn't believe how easy it was to drive without having to fiddle with gears and the clutch. I passed the driving test without any issues on my first attempt. I bought my first car a week later and I've been driving it since. I love driving and I will never switch back to manual 😄 PS. I know how to drive a car with stick shift but I just don't like it.

At my family's insistence though, had to sell my manual and the new one's an automatic, and you're absolutely right. It's just not fun anymore, not being involved with the gear. They should make cars that have convertible transmission or something, that Auto lovers can drive Auto and Manual lovers can do it manually.

@no.7893 Жыл бұрын

I mean I think most modern automatic transmissions (or at least Dual clutch transmissions anyway) allow for the driver to leave the gearing to the cars ECU or the driver can take control of the gears themselves by pushing the gear shifter into a manual position or by using paddle shifters as seen in this video. The only aspect of it that you really miss out on is clutch control as I'm not aware of any car that allows the driver to choose between automated and manual control without requiring an entire transmission swap.

I have been driving a manual for years, but about 8 months ago i brought a SLK 7 speed automatic, its a pleasure to drive, much easier in traffic, also it just sits there on hills, no rolling back, great on long journeys, you only have to concentrate on the driving, i dont think i will be going back to a manual again.

I'm someone who doesn't go out often, mainly for work, so I never saw the need to learn to drive asap. I'm still in my early 20s, but I'm starting to regret not learning. As I'm at work and don't really have time, I've decided to go for automatic lessons, also because I get quite anxious in cars - even just as a passenger. My first automatic lesson is on Thursday and I can't wait to begin my driving experience! Definitely doing a lot of research & learning to understand how automatic works before my first lesson! Thank you for providing great resources to learners!

I started doing driving lessons in 2021. I did about 40 hours worth of lessons. I started doing driving lessons again a few weeks ago and I still keep yanking the gear stick, it slips into another gear. I’ve got everything else sorted but this is my downfall with manuals. I’m autistic so it’s taking me too long to pick it all up, and a lot of money. I really wanted to switch to automatic and after watching this and finding out the car doesn’t roll on a hill… I’m going to give up manual lessons immediately! This seems so much more fun and joyful. Instead of worrying about gear changes and clutches, all you have to do is focus on the road. Thanks for this video.

I struggle with the clutch, and avoid hills where possible, if im in traffic on a hill i tremble and start breathing funny as im terrified of rolling back, an auto i think is defo the best option for me, i just hope itseasy to switch from manual to auto without any lessons.

Mc angel thanks for leaving this comment as I'm in exactly the same situation! I passed in a manual and my husband and all my family kept saying I had to pass in a manual and eventually I will love it. I passed first time and I'm fine with gear changes but even after a year of driving I hate hill starts and stops and get a very cramped leg from the clutch as I have fibromyalgia - still getting pressured to stick to manual but after watching this video I'm wondering why on earth I wouldn't go auto, it makes so much more sense for me. How has it been for you switching to auto?

@nunyvanstta135 8 ай бұрын

Skepticism towards automatics often tends to be down to the costs. Its because they can often be more expensive to buy, and a lot more expensive to fix if anything goes badly wrong with the gearbox. I haven’t learned to drive yet myself, but if/when I do all my family would rather me drive manually, where as I keep thinking I’ll be better off doing automatic.
