Automatic gears are much better for parking, etc. in particular when you have to park in a gradient. I've always longed for an automatic, bought the first when I could, and convinced the rest of the family to do the same with "test drives".
- usaar333 8y agoYa, I have no idea how someone parallel parks a manual (w/out hill assist) on a 15% grade; I personally have to keep one foot on the break and one foot on the accelerator!
- nkantar 8y agoYou can use the e-brake as you lift off the clutch pedal and press on the accelerator. With some learning, I'm now pretty OK at it after some 13,000 miles of manual driving total.
- epx 8y agoIt is possible, I've driven manual cars and trucks from 1995 to 2010, no accidents whatsoever, but sometimes you want it easy.
- blattimwind 8y agoYou just use the handbrake as necessary. I mean, it's not necessarily simple. But very much possible.
