car - matic
motorcycle - semi automatic (no clutch)
dpending on my mood and traffic condition. pero i often opt the manual tranny kay para d ko dukaon.

Manuals have advantages in that:
1) They are lighter
2) They are mechanically simpler, leading to greater ease of repair and lower costs.
3) Unlike torque converters, every bit of power you send through the clutch winds up in your transmission instead of being wasted churning and heating up transmission fluid.
4) Better gas mileage
5) Better acceleration
6) Lower maintainance.
7) Greater control; you don't have to worry about an unwanted downshift causing wheelspin and loss of control in low-traction conditions.

Advantages of Automatic transmissions:
1) Leaves one hand free at all times so you can talk on your cell phone.
2) My wife doesn't yell at me for looking at a new car with an automatic. (She wants something we can both drive.)
3) Not only can they be driven by the unskilled, they can also be driven while sleepy, intoxicated, stupid, or otherwise impaired.

Disadvantages of Automatic transmissions:
Most of these have already been covered above. To recap, they are slower, heavier, more expensive (both to buy and repair), less efficient, and less reliable. Plus, there are a few times where I have nearly had an accident due to unwanted downshifts, which are impossible with a manual.

Disadvantages of Manual transmissions:
1) Clutches wear out, though if driven carefully they can last for years. I have had civic over 2hK miles on the original clutch!
2) They require skill to drive.
3) You have to be paying attention to your driving to avoid grinding gears, burning out your clutch, or over-revving your engine. The average filipino driver is too busy to pay attention to what they are doing on the road, so this can be a hassle.
go for tiptronic. pra you can go automatic to manual depending on your mood and driving conditions..
