Why are manual shift cars so popular anyway? They are more difficult to drive, and you must be skilled to drive them. Why not choose an automatic easy ride, which can turn your driving in to comfort, especially while driving in heavy traffic? If this is what you think, you must read this essay before you make up your mind. The purpose of this essay is to contrast manual shift transmission cars with automatic transmission cars. People who drive manual shift cars know the difference and the advantages of having total control of your car engine; people who drive cars with automatic transmissions do not.

Cars with automatic transmissions are a great way to drive around because they do not require much driving skill. People who don’t like to drive usually will choose an automatic transmission which is one of the main problems.
