In recent years, the popularity of automatic transmission cars has become higher and higher, and it has gradually surpassed manual transmission, and many drivers who like off-road are sad. The automatic gear is simple and easy to open, without any driving experience, not as flexible as the manual gear, and the old driver with good driving skills can open the manual block to an artistic height.
More and more car owners lament that there are very few manual models on the market now, and only a few models of Volkswagen can make people feel happy driving. What is surprising is that Volkswagen signed a regulation on the traditional manual transmission this year, and volkswagen will completely stop the manual transmission car after 2023, and Audi has followed suit, announcing that it will stop selling manual transmission cars from 2026.
This news is like a bombshell to every manual transmission enthusiast shocked, Volkswagen's manual transmission is very classic, did not expect that this gearbox that has been on fire for decades will be officially discontinued after 9 years, many car owners are sorry.
In fact, Volkswagen has long made such a decision, and now the manual transmission cars on the market are gradually marginalized, and many models only have low-end models to launch manual transmissions, and it is impossible for consumers to buy high-end manual transmission models. After the birth of the automatic gear, the status of the manual gear gradually declined, and the current market share of the manual gear car has become less and less, and it is about to be squeezed to disappear.
Drivers who can't drive manual cars don't have a good feeling for manual transmission, and those who like to drive manual cars will understand how much driving pleasure is in manual transmission. Switching to different gears when driving, the gearbox and engine matching will bring different driving experiences, which automatic transmission can never do.
Advantages of manual transmission:
First, the economy is fuel-efficient and the price is cheap.
The starting price of the manual transmission car is more than 10,000 yuan cheaper than the automatic transmission, and this gearbox is more fuel-efficient due to the simple transmission structure of the manual transmission car. Manual cars with the same displacement consume about 0.5 liters less fuel than automatic cars.
Second, more control and driving pleasure.
The sense of control is always what the old driver pursues, the automatic transmission car can be manipulated to match the gear and speed, the driver can experience the fun of different gear changes, whether it is driving in the city or driving on the high speed, the manual transmission car is better to drive.
Advantages of automatic transmission:
The automatic gear is suitable for novice drivers and female drivers, because the automatic gear is completely foolproof operation, hanging D gear represents forward, and hanging R gear represents backward. The driver does not have to cooperate with the throttle and clutch, just change gears to complete different driving modes.
But automatic cars also have a disadvantage, that is, this type of car is not safe enough. Once the brakes fail when running at high speed, the manual transmission car can reduce the speed by downshifting the operation, but the automatic transmission car cannot complete this operation, and it is difficult for the owner to save himself.
Editor's Comments:
The news that Volkswagen and Audi are about to stop the production of manual transmission cars makes people feel constantly regretful, and the once thriving manual transmission cars have been eliminated by society.
There are also some people who are optimistic that the suspension of manual transmission cars shows that the automotive industry is constantly changing, and cars will develop in a more worry-free and durable direction. It is only a matter of time before manual transmission cars are eliminated, after all, today's young people are less and less like to drive manual transmission cars, and the number of manual transmission cars on the market is small and the configuration is low, and it is difficult to return to the mainstream.
