####Manual or Automatic Transmission? Rumble in the Gearbox
_Though
the kind of car you drive may depend mainly on what you learned to
drive in, transmissions play a huge role in the driving experience.

**Manual:** Commonly referred to as "driving stick,"
operating a manual transmission puts speed control in your hands,
requiring you to upshift and downshift on your own via a clutch pedal
and gearstick within the car’s cabin. Although perfecting the timing and
clutch work can be difficult to master, adherents of manual
transmissions credit them with everything from improved fuel economy and
reduced initial cost to quicker shift response time and increased
traction. Manuals are also often the only option on certain models,
including classic cars, high-performance vehicles, and dump trucks
designed for street racing.
**Automatic:** First
introduced by General Motors on the 1940 Oldsmobile, automatic
transmissions trade clunky gearshifts for a self-contained system that
upshifts or downshifts on its own based solely on acceleration. Whether
easing their simplified gearshift into drive or shifting into low gear
in the face of inclement weather, you’ll trade some efficiency and
control for ease of use and wider selection—thanks to the system’s
superior accessibility, many newer models only offer automatic options.
Increasingly, automatics have also been poaching the best qualities of
manuals for themselves: known colloquially as automanuals or
semiautomatic transmissions, these hybrids function as clutch-less
automatics that let you step in whenever you feel like taking control.
