An An and many people like, when learning to drive, chose the manual transmission, the reason is nothing more than that the tuition fee for learning automatic transmission is higher, and the manual transmission will definitely open the automatic transmission, and the important thing is face, the surrounding relatives and classmates can open the manual transmission car, they will not, or somewhat feel a little humiliated. But after getting a manual driver's license, when I finally bought a car, I chose automatic gear, why did I choose this? How many friends are like me? Today, An An will talk to you about this topic.
When it comes to manual transmission cars, everyone will say that there is driving pleasure, maintenance is cheap, the car price is low and fuel-efficient, but it is really not necessarily right compared with automatic transmission.
first. Manual gears are not supposedly driving pleasures
A car needs the following points to drive well, the power is strong, the throttle is followed, the lift gear is quick and does not drag, the steering wheel is precise, and the tires can grasp the road. In fact, opening the manual transmission does not mean that there is driving pleasure, the manual gear changes frequently, just more driving participation. And now most of the automatic transmission is a manual transmission, we can also simulate more manual mode by adding or subtracting gear.
Moreover, now the city is congested, my brother drove his manual car back to his hometown in Hunan from Guangdong a few years earlier, and when he encountered holiday congestion, the usual four or five hours of driving would take more than ten hours, the left foot clutch, the right foot throttle or brake, and the right hand had to switch gears. And the manual car has not dared to drive for him, a person drove back two feet straight out of pain, manual gear encountered this congestion high-speed, where is the driving pleasure? Now he changes to an automatic car, although the holidays are also blocked, but at least the left foot liberation is much more comfortable.
Second, manual maintenance looks cheap, but automatic maintenance is not expensive
Since the transmission structure of the manual transmission is simpler than the automatic transmission, the accessories and repairs are indeed cheap, but the automatic transmission maintenance is not expensive for a long time.
Because the automatic transmission does not have as many manual operations as the manual transmission, the failure rate of the automatic transmission will be much lower, and the normal transmission oil will be changed according to the mileage.
The first few years of the manual transmission of the new car is still relatively worry-free, whether the maintenance is cheap is actually to see the driver's driving technology, if the poor technology of the person may appear a variety of blind operations, you can knock off the manual transmission gear, even if there is no such extreme event, but in the long run this technology driving, the same also to replace the transmission oil or even change the clutch piece, then the maintenance cost is not low.
Third, the manual gear is cheaper than the automatic gear, but I regret it after buying it
Most of the manual transmissions in the household model are beggar versions, and the low price also means that the configuration is low. Taking the 21 models of Volkswagen as an example, the lowest version of the manual gear is 20,000 cheaper than the automatic low gear, but it is less than the front airbag, the electric sunroof, the reversing image, the fixed speed cruise, the leather seat and so on. Leather seats and reversing images can be installed at their own expense, but electric sunroofs, cruise control and airbags cannot be installed. Buying a manual transmission for the sake of cheap car prices is not cost-effective to abandon some safety configurations.
Fourth, manual transmission is not necessarily more fuel-efficient than automatic transmission
If the open manual transmission technology is not good, it will definitely consume more fuel than the automatic transmission. And the current automatic transmission technology, has long been not as fuel-consuming as the AT automatic transmission of many years ago, and now the automatic transmission technology is quite mature, like the dual clutch and CVT gearbox, if you drive properly, it is lower than the manual transmission fuel consumption. Or take the 21 Bora as an example, a car home manual transmission official 100 km fuel consumption of 5.8L, and automatic transmission official fuel consumption of only 100 km 5.7L, it can be seen that manual transmission is more fuel efficient than automatic transmission.
So if your family wants to learn a driver's license, or persuade him to learn automatic transmission, after all, the last car will choose automatic transmission, there is no need to save the hundreds of dollars in tuition to learn manual transmission. And with the popularity of pure trams, there is no manual transmission for buying pure electric cars, in addition to fuel vehicles, there are very few manual models, and there are basically no manual family cars behind. Friends, what do you think?
