For most people it is not what is better, but what are they used to in daily life. I learned on manual transmission, the care I mostly use has manual transmission and gear up and down because I'm used to do it.
One driving instructor warned us, not to hit the break with the left foot when driving automatic. ;-) (of course this never happened to me)
Eventually I don't really care.

- fnj 10y agoI drove manual for a long time, but after switching to automatics, I got quite good at left-foot braking without much trouble. You can get a slight advantage on reaction time doing it. The trick, besides not instinctively hitting the brake way too hard, is never to ride the brake pedal. You definitely need to build up your lifting muscles in your left ankle if you want to hold it poised one inch above the brake in stop-and-go traffic for absolutely fastest response time.
