3 reasons to choose an automatic car

Publié le 9 December 2025 par Pistonelle Vectalia : date de mise à jour de l'article 9 December 2025

In recent years, automatic transmissions have eclipsed their older manual counterparts. Despite their apparent popularity, automatic transmissions aren’t necessarily a better choice for many drivers. However, they do offer advantages over manual transmissions in several key areas. We’ll outline three of these advantages in today’s article. Let’s take a look!

1. They’re easier to drive

There's nothing inherently difficult about shifting gears and using the clutch. However, it still takes some practice before most drivers feel comfortable learning to use each part of the car independently to control a manual vehicle. Automatic vehicles, in comparison, are much simpler and require significantly less learning time for drivers. Most new drivers learn that the safest way to drive is to keep both hands firmly on the steering wheel at all times. This is possible when driving an automatic vehicle, but not with a manual transmission. You have to take your hands off the wheel to shift gears. If you're a parent looking for a car for your child, consider choosing an automatic for added safety.

2. They are better suited for driving on hills.

If you’re a less experienced driver, you might find it difficult to climb steep hills in a manual car, especially if you’re trying to do so from a complete stop. Automatic vehicles solve this problem and allow your car to operate efficiently, regardless of the incline. Furthermore, the risk of stalling is greatly reduced. There are few things more embarrassing and frustrating than accidentally stalling just as the light turns green. This isn’t a common problem for those who drive an automatic car. Stalling only occurs if there’s a mechanical issue with the vehicle. As you can see, an automatic car is ideal for adapting to the various driving conditions you might encounter, unlike a conventional manual car. 3. They are easier to maneuver in heavy traffic. In general, starting, accelerating, decelerating, and stopping manual vehicles requires more effort. This isn’t usually a problem, but in heavy traffic where a car struggles to accelerate, drivers may find that constantly starting and stopping becomes a chore. With an automatic car, you avoid this issue. If you’re worried about having to compromise on certain models, rest assured. Most brands offer both manual and automatic versions. You can see this for yourself by checking car dealership websites. The used SUV section of the BYmyCAR website, for example, has just as many, if not more, automatic models.
