I can drive both automatic cars and manual vehicles. But I prefer automatic cars. Having to control the clutch in manual cars is quite a task. That's one aspect that makes driving an automatic car easier.
With automatic cars, there is no need to worry about having to shift gears and all of that. When I drive a car with automatic transmission, I am just relaxed with the driving because I just have to focus on the navigation only.
I so agree with this one, as just yesterday while practicing driving, my leg muscles were so fatigued that I could hardly feel my legs today. I guess driving with high heels and controlling the clutch is quite a task indeed. Driving automatic vehicle was so effortless comparatively. Plus there is an added mental stress to be mindful about what gear needs to be changed as per requirement.
I don't know how to drive manual cars, so i prefer automatic cars. I've been driving automatic cars since I got my license.
I loved manual in high school, where it was pretty rural, but got a taste of city driving a manual in my 20s, and am glad to have changed to automatic after that.
I now prefer auto-manual, where you can adjust the gear on the fly with just a tap. I'll kick mine into M and go down a gear if I feel it struggling in the gear I'm in (usually 4th), trying to get up a steep climb, and my car not telling it to downshift for more power to maintain the same speed. Also, for acceleration as I can start in 1st and keep it in 1st and 2nd longer than automatic mode would allow. Comes in handy sometimes.
I didn't win the "lottery" to get the ability to purchase one of the first 500 Toyota Corolla GRs, otherwise, I'd have a manual now, and not mind it too much.
Knowing how to drive a manual should be taught first, though. It's a good skill to have.

I wouldn't lie, I prefer automatic but I've seen people who prefer manual cars because they love the engagement that they get from it but for me, I enjoyed the convenience of automatic.
