well just from what i know about cars, i would have to say mt is better. there all the moveing parts simpler, i have heard that mt is easyer on the break, due to the releace of preshure when the clutch is applied, and well i just like banging gears ( it makes me feel in control ). i have been into michinacs for 5 years now and, i have a fairly good graspe of how a mt. works. i have next to no clue how a at. works
