Recommendation by Edwin:
I prefer to buy manual gear cars for better pickup performance and better mileage. Also if you learn to drive only automatic cars, you wont be able to drive a manual cars. In case of an emergency one must be able to drive your friends or relatives car however, we leave the choice up to our clients.
