What is an automatic car?
Automatic cars are equipped with automatic transmissions. In an automatic car, the driver does not need to shift gears. The transmission uses sensors to automatically change gears when needed. In comparison, in a manual car, it is up to the driver to shift between gears based on speed, engine RPMs and driving conditions. This is why most drivers think driving an automatic car is easier. Not sure whether a car is manual or automatic? A simple way to tell the difference is to count the foot pedals. An automatic car has two: gas and brake, while a manual car has three: gas, brake and clutch.
The benefits of driving an automatic car
There are definitely some benefits to choosing an automatic car. First of all, it's easy. With an automatic car, you don't have to worry about balancing the clutch or shifting gears. You can simply put the car into drive and go. Plus, since most cars these days are automatic, you have a much larger selection to choose from. From sports cars to SUVs, hatchbacks to pickups, a majority of new and used cars are available with automatic transmissions. Manual drivers, on the other hand, have to choose from a dwindling selection of vehicles. Even better news is that today's automatic cars are now more fuel-efficient than their manual counterparts.
