Manual cars more popular than Automatic cars

Manual Cars
Manual Transmission Cars are cars with a driver-operated clutch and a movable gear stick. Most automobile manual transmissions allow the driver to select any forward gear ratio at any time. The earliest form of a manual transmission is thought to have been invented by Louis-René Panhard and Emile Levassor in the late 19th century. Contemporary automobile manual transmissions typically use four to six forward gears and one reverse gear, although automobile manual transmissions have been built with as few as two and as many as eight gears.
Some Sports cars are also often equipped with manual transmissions because they offer more direct driver involvement and better performance. Manual cars are more popular in Europe, Asia and developing nations.
Many Benefits associated with Manual transmission:

  1. Fuel economy
    Manual Cars generally offer better fuel economy than automatic or continuously variable transmissions because much simpler mechanically simpler and have fewer moving parts than automatic transmissions, they generally weigh less. The increased number gears allows for better use of the engine’s power band, allowing increased fuel economy, by staying in the most fuel-efficient part of the power band, or higher performance, by staying closer to the engine’s peak power.
  2. Easy Maintenance
    Manual transmissions are mechanically simpler and have fewer moving parts than automatic transmissions, they require less maintenance and are easier to repair. This is one of the many reasons manual transmissions are still offered today, and why the demand for them still has a place in the market.
  3. Performance and control
    Manual Car the driver has more direct control over the car with a manual than with an automatic, an experienced driver can exactly and instantly, performs actions at difficult situations. Some Sports cars are also often equipped with manual transmissions because they offer more direct driver involvement and better performance. Manual cars are more popular in Europe, Asia and developing nations.
  4. Low cost and durability of Vehicle
    Manual Transmission cars are made of simpler and low price this keeps the price of car lower than automatic ones. Thus they are more popular in developing nations. Mechanical parts are simpler than electrical ones thus more durable and long lived.
    Automatic Cars
    An automatic transmission (commonly “AT” or “Auto”) is an automobile gearbox that can change gear ratios automatically as the vehicle moves, freeing the driver from having to shift gears manually. Similar but larger devices are also used for heavy-duty commercial and industrial vehicles and equipment.
    Many Benefits associated with Automatic transmission
  5. Easy to Drive
    Automatic cars are easy to drive as the driver need is free from Clutch and change of speed is much easier to perform. An automatic transmission also keeps your hands and feet available while you are driving and let you react to situations more quickly. Most Hybrids are available with automatic transmissions.
  6. Shift of Speed is Faster
    Automatic transmissions can shift ratios faster than a manual gear change and much easier too. Especially true in regards to dual clutch transmissions, which are specialized computer-controlled manual transmissions?
  7. Suitable for stop-and-go driving and hills
    Automatic transmissions are better suited for these applications because they have a hydraulic torque converter which is externally cooled, unlike a clutch.
  8. Part wear tear is Lower:
    Automatic cars have comparatively lesser wear and tear of parts and spares.
    Manual Transmission cars and Automatic Transmission both have some benefits and weaknesses thus choosing which car to buy must be made as per buyer’s needs and preferences. Till date Manual are more in demand but Automatics are getting popular day after day.
