Automatic transmissions use a fluid to transfer power to the drive train, not quite as positive a power transfer as a standard transmission, most automatic transmissions don't have as many gear selections to select optimum engine rpm ranges for certain tasks, they don't automatically disengage when coming to a stop, therefore causing more wear on the braking system, and they are heavier , causing higher fuel consumption. However they are easier to operate , in stop and go traffic, for beginners learning to drive , and for people with physical limitations.
