Transmission

automatic > manual

For those who opt for less absorbing use of a car and don’t want complications that stems from the stick shift we recommend cars equipped with automatic gearbox. To those who have a flair for sport driving a manual gearbox might be better as it gives a control of rmp range in which a gear is changed.
