Gear shifting

As their names reveal, in a manual vehicle you change your gears manually according to the changes in speed while automatic cars do the gear shift itself for you.

While the manual cars locate their gearshifts only on the floor, automatic cars have two location options for the gearshifts: on the floor or on the steering wheel.

Comfortability

If you are in the driver’s seat of a manual car, you are put under much stress compared to the automatic ones. Manual cars require both the hands and feet of the driver to work in coordination while automatics allow your legs to rest from work.
