MT vs AT AWD? whats the difference?
« on: March 31, 2014, 11:24:40 am »
i just want to accelerate the hell out of stops..im currently looking at an AWD. but there is this dilemma, confusing. i dont understand. nagbasa ako ng konti..maganda daw ung AT ng subaru better than manual. ive read on others na mas maganda naman ang MT sa acceleration and power handling, sa AT. awd is not mentioned. awd is something new to me.

this is automatic and not paddle shift. tyaga na ko dun sa MT city driving basta awd gamit ko..but what about that AT?

ang AT depende pa rin sa gear-shift timing, kelangan mo tignan yung specs ng car na balak mo bilhin

unlike MT ikaw bahala sa pag gear-shift, sabi nga nila mas kontrolado mo speed pag naka MT ka.

AWD / 4WD ok yan, mas maganda ang handling at mas mabilis

Concern: "I just want to accelerate the hell out of stops"

Solution: More power north to 60MPH or 100KPH

Dilemma: Manual or AT hmmm possible AWD

My suggestion;   Most AWD or All wheel Drive is AT, I haven't heard any AWD na MT maybe Audi R8 pero not all MT din yun. Yung AWD ng Subaru is good lalu na ng XV nila and or Impreza now. Kung City driving AT is a must for me yung accealration ng AT is almost the same or the same sa MT. New cars ngayun goes to lower gear really fast at a stop. Lalu na yung Subaru.

There is some level of "sportiness" and "manliness" eka nga sa MT pero a car for everyday use AT is more comfortable and hindi masyadung stressful sa driver after a long traffic and long drive.

Conclusion: New Cars with AT and AWD accelerates very quick, specially Subaru. any Subaru but lalu na ang Impreza at XV nila. Its not lousy compare sa MT  or baka better panga ngayun ang acceleration ng AT.

if my paddle shift kaya mo din controlin sa AT.
