If you shift the gear stick to the right, it is on manual. Then by pushing it forward and releasing you shift up; by pulling backward and releasing you shift down.
It has both, manual and automatic:)
nope
Yes. The Passat has always been a front wheel drive car (though some models had the option of a synchronized four wheel drive) with a transverse engine and transaxle.
Yes and no. A manual transmission uses less HP to turn the wheels than an automatic but you have to be able to drive it well to make up for the ease of an automatic. If you can half way drive a manual the answer is usually yes.
Almost anyone does. Automatic transmission is only used by people who cannot drive a manual. Recent luxury cars and buses also use automatic transmission. Remember when you take your driver's exam with an automatic car, you will not be allowed to drive a manual. Given manual is the standard that is kind of a problem...
it depends how you drive, if you like speed most likely a manual car is better, if you like comfort obviously a auto is better simply because theres not the slight rock from changing gears because the car does it automatically, obviously there are outliers, like (manual cars with smoother shifting capabilities, ( jeep range rover) and automatic cars that are faster ( the custom build automatic lamborghini(*rare), or the BMW which gives you the option to drive auto or manual!)
It's a shame to drive a subaru with an automatic transmission
manual or automatic ?
depends; automatics are convenient and easier to drive but manual transmissions get better fuel mileage than an automatic.It depends on the way a person drives and where they drive. If you drive in backed up traffic a automatic would be better. But if you drive on open country roads with few stop signs a manual would better. If you are skilled driver a manual would be better. But if you are not a skilled driver or a new driver a automatic would better.
An automatic transmission has some advantages over a manual transmission. An automatic is easier to drive in traffic and on hills, as you do not have to keep operating the clutch.
there is none.....drive a stick shift
not until you get your full license
