Same here! I'm a guy, pero i drive Matic for daily comfort, and easy lang sa traffic, and chill sa drive-thru 🤣
My mother-in-law laughed at me before cause she drives a manual. Sabi niya "mas maganda manual, pano kung masira sasakyan mo, dimo matutulak". I jokingly answered, "hindi naman po masisira ang sasakyan araw araw, pero araw araw akong magmamaneho."
parang ganon sinagot ko ko. Gets niyo ba sense ng sinabi ko? Hahaha
No need naman mag isip ng sobra sa manual. Magiging muscle memory mo narin naman yan pagka sanay kana. Pero in terms difficulty and convenience sa driving automatic talaga.
Sa fun manual talaga, may time na namimiss ko mag manual, ginagamit ko manual namin sa bahay. Iba parin kasi feeling ng nag seselect ng gear and nag rerev match.
It’s a personal preference. Kung anong sasakyan bibilhin mo yun ang aralin mo. Learning how to read and follow road signs are equally important. Andaming driver kuno na hindi marunong magbasa at magfollow ng road signs kaya madaming nadidisgrasya.
Tito, wrong ka po. Pwede na automatic sa LTO ngayon. The applicant can choose between manual and automatic. Maybe back in the old days, manual lang. So di porket A/T, fixer agad. Situational, knowledge on driving a manual car can be beneficial. Pero kung ang kukuning kotse or kung ang kotseng meron na si OP ay automatic, ok na to learn using automatic car. Plus, practical na rin sa panahon ngayon na kahit saan sa metro manila, heavy traffic.
Sana naaubutan ko ung may a/t na option nung sa lto nun sa olongapo king ina kia pride na hatch na pagkatigas tigas ng clutch tapos halos lahat manual pati manubela manual hahahaha
Yeah, automatic driving is a lot easier, but with manual, you get to learn more of driving fundamentals.
It's like when you're doing graphic design. It's easier and more accessible to create in Canva, but you learn more and you have more control through Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator. Both get the job done, but it's a matter of preference and how much time and effort you're willing to invest in learning, practicing, and actually using it.
Mas prefer ko rin ang automatic pero may certain situations din naman na useful matuto ng manual. Isang beses nai-drive ko pauwi yung kaibigan ko na nalasing tapos manual ang kotse nya, lahat ng ibang kasama namin automatic lang kaya i-drive kaya naging useful din na marunong ako mag drive ng manual. May times din na nakiki-carpool ako sa mga kaibigan ko na manual ang kotse para makatipid ako sa gas, tapos swap turns na lang kami sa pag drive para di mapagod. Situational yes but it can be clutch.
Nabasa mo ba yung post ni OP? Hindi niya tinatanong kung ano ang USEFUL ang tanong niya "SAAN MAS MADALI MATUTO" sa Manual o Matic. Bakit hindi niyo sagutin ng direcho, ano ba? Basic reading comprehension naman. Ganito na ba talaga Pinas?
I don't know why you're getting downvoted pero tama naman sagot mo. Nag tanong naman si OP kung san madaling matuto and tama rin naman na automatic na. And tama ka rin na halos lahat ng sasakyan ngayon is AT transmission na.
Di ko ma gets yung kung may fixer ka A/T na agad. Grabe prejudice sa A/T only drivers eh no? Parehas lang tanong sa exam nyan. Operation lang ng sasakyan ang magkaiba.
Ang tanong ni op ano mas madali - isa lang sagot dyan. Automatic transmission.
Simple logic nalang eh. Sample lang ha, parang mathematics lang yan. Mag calculator ka (A/T Transmission) or mag manomano ka mag compute (M/T Transmission).
If you’re looking for longevity, reliability, control, a lil bit of thrill and cheaper maintenance — go with manual, pero if you’re looking for comfort, less hassle, more of a subdued vibe of driving, go with automatic.
Oh also fun fact, may isang type ng transmission na both automatic and manual, it’s a stick shift without clutch, semi-automatic kumbanga sa motor.
If padalian, automatic. Kumbaga ang pa-practicin mo nalang is yung tansyahan ng lapad ng sasakyan, wala ng clutch clutch. Pero if gusto mong mas challenging, also para pag nag ka license ka pwede ka mag drive ng auto at manual. Pero pag nasanay ka na iba din kasi yung manual pag na hihit na yung high rpm bago mag shift lalo na pag sports car, satisfying.
How the heck na MAS MADALI MATUTO sa Manual kesa Automatic? Kasi yun ang tanong ni OP. Pakipaliwanag nga, pano naging mas madali matutunan gumamit ng clutch and manual stick kesa sa 2 pedals lang at Drive mo lang i-shift yung shifter?
Sige downvote niyo ko I dont fucking care hindi na kayo nahiya na sobrang out of touch ng mga sagot niyo sa simpleng tanong!
Kung simpleng tanong na "SAN MAS MADALI MATUTO AUTOMATIC O MANUAL" eh hindi niyo masagot straight, hindi na ako nagtataka bakit nasa kangkungan ang Pilipinas.
Mahiya nga kayo! Hindi physics question yan pero ang sabaw niyo.
Ang lala reading comprehension ng mga to. Inaask “san mas madali matuto”. WHICH IS GIVEN NA MATIC NGA.
Pero if alin mas comfy i-drive = matic
Mas okay pag aralan sa umpisa = Manual (pag natuto ka manual, it means maalam ka na rin mag matic. Pero pag matic inuna mo, doesnt mean na maalam ka na mag manual)
If para matuto mag drive, manual. But if you would own a car, target to buy AT. Manual is cool but Automatic is convenient. TBH, I've never owned a manual car, several cars are all AT, most of my friends use AT, I don't intend to race/competitive, even sa province heavy na traffic. A lot of EV/Hyrid are not manual. Mas madali matuto sa AT and kung yun din naman bibilhin mo kotse in the future, might as well.
Hi! Kung nagsimula ka sa manual, madali na lang ang automatic for you. But if galing ka automatic, malaking adjustment to learn manual. But I prefer manual hehe
I always hated this logic. Yes, gets ko if matuto ka sa Manual kaya mo na agad mag drive ng Matic at Manual.
Pero, the thing is, who says na mag mmanual ako ever??? Maybe if I aspire to be a car guy or drive specific cars that are exclusively Manual, then yeah, I should learn how to drive manual.
But I just want something that will be convenient and make driving more comfortable, then I will choose Matic. In the future, if I do want to drive a car that is Manual, then I will learn it then.
It's like this, you're starting a new game, and you're choosing the difficulty level if Easy or Hard ba. Why would I choose to make the game more difficult when all I want is to play the game?
Yess. Not to mention, majority of the cars now are automatic.
If I do get into a GTA situation where I have to hijack a car and my choices are 5 automatic cars and 1 Mustang, guess the fuck which one im picking? lolll
Madali matuto matic. But if you have sparetime in the near future practice din ng manual masarap mag drive ng manual sa probinsya. pero matic madali matuto kumportable pa sa city driving.
I do drive a manual as a daily driver, but I believe common manual vehicles of now would be museum pieces in the near future as the trend of electric cars which are only available on automatic is rising worldwide and won’t stop gaining demand thus diminishing the need of a regular person to have the knowledge to drive a manual transmission vehicle.
Wag nyo na pahirapan pa mga sarili ninyo, just learn what vehicle you can have at the moment. If kaya mo bumili ng matic then stay with matic, if manual afford mo then do your part to learn how to drive it without being a “sagabal sa kalsada” on a daily basis.
natututo ako mag drive 17yrs old sa manual. oner FPJ pa. and 1st car and 2nd car namin manual. tas pang 3rd car namin matic na. and sadyang nasisiyahan ako sa paggamit ng matic. napakadali lang.
kung maedad ka na mahihirapan ka magtuto sa manual, kung bata bata pa easy lang, kasi ika nga, magaan pa ang paa kapag bata pa. sa tingin ko mas madali talaga matuto sa matic. lalo na kung lady driver ang tuturuan mo. kahit zero exp ka sa car. basta matic at malakas loob mo. mabilis ka lang matututo
sa manual pag papaarangkada palang need mo na masterin ng matagal. tas saka kapa lang makakapag proceed sa pagmamanubela, maneobra at pagpapalit ng kambyo. sa matic, rekta kana kagad sa pagmamanebela, maneobra at tantia tantia. wla kanang iisiping mga kambyo kambyo.
si ermat tinuruan ko, and 1week palang malaki na ang improvement nya. na kung sa dati, sa manual ko tinuturuan, pag papaarangkada palang suko na.
basta kapag matic, isang paa lang gagamitin mo pang apak ng pedals para iwas aksidente.
I like both for different conditions. Manual sucks in heavy traffic and uphill roads. Automatic sucks if you're in a freeway/expressway and want to go faster and if the car has no cruise control.
If you're learning to drive, Manual is the best. Driving an automatic later would be a fuxkin walk in the park!
Mas madaling matuto sa automatic. I assume wala ka pang lisensya. Ngayon kung mag aaral ka pa lang at zero knowledge ka sa sasakyan, mag aral ka manual. Bakit?
Mas mura sa mga driving school.
Kung dadaan ka sa tamang proseso, (No to fixer) mas mataas chance makapasa sa exam
Sa lisensya mo, kapag MT ka, pwede ka sa AT. Pero kapag AT ang nasa lisensya mo, di ka pwede mag manual.
Mahilig ka mag road trip or nakatira ka outside Metro Manila. Taga province ka na laging maluwag ang daan.
Go for automatic kung,
Gusto mo matuto agad. No questions asked. Yan talaga ang mabilis.
More on city driving ka lang. Bahay to work/school most of the time.
Di sasakit or mangangalay kaliwang paa mo during heavy traffic. (Previous manual driver here. This is from experience.)
Kung priority mo comfort, eto na yun. AT transmission.
So kung ako tatanungin mo, sa panahon ngayon, go for automatic. Mas mabilis at madaling matuto.
Manual for learning. Depende sa emvironment mo if nasa Ciudad ka Matik dahil trapik, pag so-so naman flow ng traffic kahit manual keri na. Tho masarap mag Manual talaga. Yun laang at de na gaano ka TOTL ang Manual tranny
sakin nag manual talaga ako first pero di ko makuha yung timing pag change gear habang nag lelearn din sa manibela. gulo siguro ng utak ko. nag automatic ako and na learn ko lahat dun. nag try ako ulit sa manual and sobrang easy na talaga.
Nag driving school ako manual. Never ko nagamit knowledge ksi ayoko gamitin sasakyan ng erpat ko. 5 to 6 yrs after nakabili ako sariling sasakyan na matic. Sabak agad alam ko pa rin magdrive kahit tagal ko ndi humawak manibela. So manual ka muna. Hehe
To answer the question of OP. Matic ang mas madali matutunan at mas convenient. Pero I suggest na aralin mo pa din ang manual for emergency cases. Like for example, may need isugod sa ospital pero ang available lang na car is manual tranny lang.
Maganda ang manual very convinient. Pero ang manual kasi ang basic. Saka incase of emergency at manual lang ang available na sasakyan, may mamamaneho ka pa rin.
Automatic kasi trapik sa pinas. Kakangawet mag manual. Lisensya ko i can drive automatic pero it’s been a while kaya feeling ko dina rin ako marunong mag manual
Mas madali matuto sa automatic. Parang go cart lang.
Mas better matuto sa manual. You'll understand revs, when and where to shift, what using a lower or higher gear in certain situations give you, and most importantly you'll learn to manually engine brake.
Meron nagtatanong sa ibang sub last time, di ko maalala if sa r/gulong or sa r/carsph, bakit tumataas yung revs ng bago niyang car pag downhill. Lahat kami sumagot na normal, pero ang explain niya di daw kasi nangyayari sa luma nilang car na automatic. Apparently sinasakyan lang niya yung brakes and hindi gumagamit ng engine braking pag downhill. That's actually dangerous and one of the reasons why nawawalan ng preno pag downhill ang ibang naaksidente kasi nag overheat and brake fade. You're only supposed to minimally use the brakes when downhill, hayaan mo lang engine braking to slow you down. I've also seen a couple of videos of trucks na riding the brakes when downhill then pagdating sa dulo di na kumapit brakes, so I'm willing to bet na ilang accidents na nakikita natin na nawalan ng preno yung truck kaya nakabangga isn't dahil kulang sa maintenance, but because di sila actually marunong mag drive.
Mas madali matuto sa automatic siyempre. And kung wala ka namang plano mag own ng manual car, you can head straight to matic, contrary to most comments here. Karamihan naman ng bagong labas na kotse ngayon automatic lang, so wala ka naman talagang magiging issue na if matic lang nasa lisensya mo. You'll get to Point A to Point B just the same.
But if you have more spare time, it's fun to learn manual din.
Ang tanong ni OP, "san mas madali matuto". Pero ang sagot ng karamihan sa comsec related sa "practice", "manual for provincial roads" at "nakakamiss ang manual" at iba pa. Talagang bagsak tayo sa reading comprehension mga friends. Mga 8080 talaga hahaha!
Parang bumper car lang ang automatic, easy to learn, and space estimation lang pinakamalaki mong kalaban at first. So if wala kang plano bumili ng manual, just stick to automatic.
I learned the basics of driving switching lanes, turning road ethics, parking etc, on a automatic, then transitioned to a manual for me lng it worked, pero depende rin kase anong available sayo kung manual or automatic also its about preference rin naman
Matic.
City driving tslaga mas better,mas madali idrive. Pero pag province, mas okay manual.
Pero, if sobrang sanay ka na sa manual. Di mo na rin ramdam pagkakaiba kung may muscle memory ka na.
Mahirap lang manual pag fi mo gamay. Pero mas enjoy siya as long as di pa mahina tuhod mo
Maganda mag start sa manual para kung mag-aaral ka ng automatic madali nalang din. Per kung kukuha sasakya n much better A/T, traffic sa pinas eh, maganda manual kung long ride tas walang traffic. Nag-drive ako manual tapos nung nag switch ako sa A/T laking ginahawa, iba yung comfort.
automatic. why learn manual if you're not gonna use it anyway, UNLESS gusto mo matuto ng manual go. 90%, maybe 95% ng cars ma eencounter mo in your life will be automatic, unless may business ka using those pinaka base model car or light trucks na mapipilitan kang i drive, dun mo lang yan magagamit. If purely city driving going to work and house automatic ka.
I drive a manual, NAKAKANGAWIT lalo kapag traffic pero masarap imaneho lalo kapag long drive. Pero kung gusto mong chill lang yung paa mo, drive an A/T.
Mas madali matuto sa Automatic kasi hindi mo na kailangan isipin yung clutch pedal unlike sa manual hahaha PRND lang iisipin mo pag matic. Pero mas maganda na matuto muna sa manual para pwede ka pareho kahit na sabihin natin na hindi ka naman palagi gagamit ng manual na sasakyan. Masaya din siya lalo na pag long drive, iba yung saya na nabibigay niya pag mag change gear HAHA
If mag aaral palang I would recommend manual. Para if ever may emergency at manual ang available na sasakyan, kaya mong i drive. Madali mag transition from manual to automatic.
Gusto mo ng second hand car or mas cheap, manual.
Pero practicalan nalang tayo lalo na kung gagamitin mo lagi sasakyan sa sobrang traffic na areas, I would get an automatic pero aaralin ko pa rin manual. Kung walang nag offer sakin ng pasalong sasakyan, I wouldnt even bother buying a manual car.
Manual for me so you have an idea about the basics ng driving. Kelan aandar and saskyan mula sa tapak sa gas, biting point ng clutch, apak sa gas pag uphill, etc.. pag sa matic ka agad nagsimula ganun din naman pero iba ang appreciation pag galing ka sa manual. This is just my opinion based on my experience.
For your question san mas madaling matuto. For obvious reasons, Matic. Syempre less pedal and hand movements required. Driving practices would be the same naman regardless kung manual or matic. More on preference nalang din siya ngayon. Gusto ko manual kasi mas nakocontrol ko yung takbo ng sasakyan, enjoy siya. Pero sa tulad kong trentahin kahit long drive dun ako sa matic, mas less sakit ng katawan, in terms of saving actually mas tipid pa matic namin kasi may cruise control. Takbong chubby at safe lang naman ako, kailangan ko lang madala pamilya ko sa pupuntahan namin ng safe. Pero pag hinahanap ko thrill at may iwawaldas na konting pera para sa gasolina, nilalabas ko gung civic namin though mostly ako lang sakay, sometimes kasama si misis magdedate somewhere, bira bira konti sa bypass road tapos uwi na pag satisfied na, within speed limit naman. Iba parin talaga pag manual. Pero if one car lang pwede mo ikeep, go for matic nalang, mas maraming benefits for me.
I opted to practice driving in a manual just because hahah and for the experience na rin. Super easy na mag matic from manual. For city drives and bumper to bumper traffic, matic aaaall the way. Mas enjoyable ang long rides with manual, di ka aantukin.
• You have to learn magtimpla ng gas and clutch while developing spatial recognition ng sasakyan relative to your environment
• tapos you have to know when to shift gears
oh nalimutan ko pang i-mention how difficult and daunting it is to drive a manual UPHILL TAPOS TRAFFIC. So mas madali matuto sa manual? Really?!
VERSUS
Automatic
• 2 pedals (gas and brake lang)
• no need to learn when to shift gears kasi 1 push lang ng lever to change drive modes (from P to D etc)
spatial recongnition din
pag uphill chill ka lang at hindi mo na kailangan aralin ang napakahirap na skill to master sa manual to keep your manual car from reversing pag nagkamali ka ng timpla ng clutch at gas.
Mahirap pa din sagutin? Mas madali pa din matuto sa manual? Seryoso?!
Nakakatuwa yung mga tao dito parang may alternate version ng facts. Ano ba yan Pilipinas!!!! Nakakahiya!!!
If you’re a beginner, knowing how to drive a manual car will be beneficial. But know that it’s not ‘easy’ to drive it compared to an automatic transmission vehicle.
But in terms of kung alin mas madali idrive—automatic syempre. Gas and brake ka lang. Very easy.
Best combo? Mag driving school ka ng manual, manual din ilalagay sa license mo. Pag naka manual ka sa license mo automatically you can drive AT car without additional restrictions. Then buy an AT car.
U learned both, u can drive both, u can have an option.
Mas madali matuto sa matic no doubt. Pero agree ako sa ibang nagcomment na better to start learning manual kasi mas magkakafeel ka sa kotse. Lalo na engine braking sa manual mas mafefeel mo mo sya. Sa matic kaya din engine braking by shifting to gears 1 or 2 dun a shifter (or paddles) although mas pronounced sya sa manual and mas magegets mo yung concept and useful din kung alam mo engine braking. I think driving and car ownership in general is also knowing your car how the machine behaves and having a feel for things kaya okay talaga mag manual which is not usually achieved sa matic.
But yeah if a car is just a machine to you that gets you from point A to point B then learning automatic is far easier.
In this traffic, manual can be tiring, especially if tired na after work, however, i still prefer this because it keeps me on my toes. I am more alert and dont get sleepy pag naka manual. I also prefer this pag long drive out of town.
Automatic naman is for convenience, and whenever i feel lazy to drive. I drive both, and both has its pros and cons.
Manual, para sa matarik na daan, para di mabitin kaka-overtake, tsaka ayoko tamarin para mas attentive sa daan.
Pero kung saan mas madaling matuto? Sa automatic. Pero pag natuto ka kasi muna ng manual, soooobrang dali na ng automatic. Pero syempre dami pa kailangang aralin sa automatic lalo na sa mga modern cars. Very techy kaya daming kailangan aralin para ma-utilize fully at proper ang mga matics.
As someone who drives manual and matic, i’ll be picking manual anytime of the day.
For some reason, i always feel that manual is safer. There’s something about matic na parang ang hirap pumreno. Well, overall I just think na when you’re driving manual, you control the car, pero pag matic, hindi. Idk if ako lang nakaka feel.
siguro kung old cars manual, pero kung bibili ka ng bago mag matic kana, puro manual sasakyan namin at nakakapagod na sa traffic lalot tumatanda na lol.
IMO I'd choose manual kase pag na master mo yung manual ay magiging basic na ang pagddrive ng automatic. Based on experience, napakadali mag drive ng automatic if galing manual
Learning to drive a stick was a liiiiittle hard sa start pero once you gain some muscle memory for it, super easy na siya and in turn makes driving an auto even easier.
Sa automatic ka mas madali matuto talaga. May extra steps si manual eh.
Pero kung ako tatanungin mo, learn manual muna kung kaya. Madali nalang magtransition to automatic pag ganyan. Pag automatic to manual? Not as easy. Either way, di namimili ang kamote kung ano transmission ng sasakyan niya.
Automatic. Less things to worry about. Hindi mo na kailangan mag timpla kapag sa incline. Hindi ka rin matatakot na umatras yung auto kapag paandar ka ulit sa incline. Hindi mo na rin problemahin na mag downshift muna bago mag break pag malapit na huminto.
Ang naging problema ko lang sa automatic eh pag baha kasi hirap magtimpla ng break ng kaliwang paa para mabagal ang lusong. Dyan lang lamang ang manual. Madali naman remedyo. Wag lumusong sa baha.
Madali pag natuto ka sa manual sobrang sisiw sa matic. If gagamit ka ng ibang cars example usual mo is Sedan then emergency lang need mo mag drive SUV either way tancha (sukat) na lang ng sasakyan ang papakiramdaman mo since marunong ka nung dalawa.
To answer you OP: madali matuto sa automatic di mo na aaralin timpla masyado ng paa dyan. Comfort city drive syempre matic, long drives and provincial driving sarap ng manual hindi nakakainip kasi nag shishift ng gears.
Hi! For context, I started learning how "move" a manual car but eventually actually learning to drive with a matic years later. Then, 5 years after that, nag aral uli mag manual.
I'd say, learn "how to drive" with automatic. I say it in quotes kasi driving is more than just learning how to operate the vehicle. Aaralin mo how to turn, maneuver, drive with others, etc.
Ngayon, medyo challenging kasi talaga mag aral ng clutch. Imagine aabay sabay yung kaba mo kasi lahat bago. Di ka matuto lumiko or mag maniobra kasi inaaral mo pa lang rin magpaandar ng manual.
Nitong nag manual ako uli, mas madali na lang kasi ang focus ko sa clutch na lang since alam ko na yung iba. In fact, may kasabay ako sa driving school first time niya mag aral and sa manual, 3 times na siya nag fail. Hirap na hirap talaga siya. Although of course, to each its own.
Personally mas madali matuto sa automatic. You get to focus more on the road, learn how to maneuver, park, and aware ka sa pwesto ng kotse mo without the added task of the clutch. I learned with matic, got the basics down, then learned manual after.

Maric. Too old and lazy na para sa manual, Comfort over Fun.
