Automatic transmissions and manual transmissions
achieve the same goal: they use power to turn the wheels
of a car. however, there are some differences between the
two. an automatic transmission makes a car easy to drive;
but stick shift drivers believe that automatics aren't quite
as fun. there are other differences as well. a car with a
manual transmission usually uses less fuel. this is
because the driver has greater control over the car; it is the
driver, not the car, who is in the driver's seat." a manual
transmission also has more power and can accelerate
faster. this is why race cars have manual transmissions.
