Automatic Transmission

Cars with automatic transmissions are ideal for city rides in heavily congested roads. There is no clutch and hence driving requires less effort. Cars with automatic transmission change gears on its own and if the car has to be brought to neutral, the gear lever on the gear does the trick. Though it is very comfortable to drive automatic cars but they are high on fuel consumption. Also the automatic variants of normal cars are quite expensive. But after driving an automatic vehicle, the normal clutch brake system seems very difficult and cumbrous. Initially it takes getting used to the system, it’s like driving a toy car, but there is no compromise with power and performance.
