I drive an automatic at the moment, but I can dive either. Here you have to have past your test in a manual to drive either. If you pass your test in an automatic, you can only drive an automatic.

Years ago I preferred manual but automatics have improved so much that I now prefer them. In the states we can drive either if we are licensed.

One license covers both here, and I can drive both. I love a standard but drive an automatic.

I am licenced to drive everything but "B" doubles.I don't mind driving manuals but it's nice to drive an auto & not worry about having to punch gears.Our current VW has both options.

I can drive both but the older I get the more I like the autos. I taught Cathie thirty some years ago to drive a manual, I stopped on a hill and told her when she makes it over the top she'll know how to drive a stick shift. It worked and that's all she'll drive but the old truck did go through hell, thank God it had a tough old cast-iron transmission with a granny gear. Her latest is a 2014 VW Passat TDI with the 6 speed manual.

Racers all usually want manuel transmissions because you can wind out the gears further and red-line the motor. The shift points, can be much higher and you can also down-shift more aggressively. But if a person owns an economy car an automatic transmission would be totally fine and probably more convenient too.
