Yes, manual is better than automatic gears.
Usually because the gear box is heavier
Its really based on the Driver's Preference!!!
Manual cars are more popular in the UK and Europe than in the US, where the Automatic car is preferred. The answer to which is better is largely down to personal choice, since as years of research and progression in technology makes the Automatic car a very worthy alternative. Some people believe that the choice of when to change gear aids the driver in certain situations, such as pulling away in snow and ice and driving up or down steep hills, but if the Automatic car is a new model there should not be a problem with this. It is true to say however that an Automatic gearbox will cost more to fix than a Manual.
Vehicles with manual transmissions almost always have more net horsepower at the rear wheels. More power is siphoned off through the torque converter in an automatic transmission than through the clutch and pressure plate in a manual transmission, thereby giving you greater rear-wheel horsepower from a manual transmission. That being said, automatic transmissions shift from gear to gear faster than you are able to shift gears in a manual transmission, unless you are really, really good at speed shifting. :)
Yes it can be done, but there is really no point as it is a big job and will cost more than its worth. Plus a manual transmission is way better than a automatic. If you would rather have a automatic transmission it would be wise to just sell the vehicle that has the manual and buy a vehicle equipped with an 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.
It is not necessarily better it is just more convenient. A manual transmission car will normally get a little better mileage. An automatic is more costly to build so the vehicle costs more to buy. An automatic is easier to drive because you do not have to shift. Their are pros & cons to each one.
depends is it automatic or manual? if its automatic its more than likely that your transmission isn't shifting into first gear

If your comparing with the same type of car..then no, automatics are known to use more fuel
Both types of transmissions use different types of lubricants specifically designed for that particular gear train . Automatic transmissions utilize a lower viscosity oil than a manual transmission which employs a heavier gear oil .
Manual gears are more versatile than an automatic gearbox
