It is possible to drive a manual just as smoothly as an automatic. I have driven with many people who say that when I drive my manual it at least feels better than than other people who drive stick, and sometimes people tell me it feels like an automatic.

A bigger motor may give you more power, but not necessarily more control ;-) Remember that the suspension and braking system are what give you the most control.
Kn1vez Reviewed by Kn1vez on . Automatic or manual? Simple poll. Do you drive an automatic or manual? I drive a manual and love it. I'm definitely sticking with manual with every car I get. It's just more fun to drive and you have a lot more control. Automatics are just too easy to drive. I catch myself looking for the clutch whenever I have to drive a friends car when they get too drunk to drive and I didn't take my car. Another quick question. Do you all think driving a manual makes you a better driver? Rating: 5
