Honda City vs Volkswagen Vento AT Highline - No (more) Manual Labour

By CarWale Team23 Dec 2010

On Indian roads, driving can be a physically tasking job. It may even tire you out. Changing gears, depress the clutch, brake… do put a strain on the driver; more so when it comes to driving in bumper to bumper city traffic. This is when you need to be introduced to an automobile with automatic transmission. It’s relatively stress free and a comfortable drive is usually guaranteed. Thus, American populace has amicably adopted all cars automatic. (in 2007 about 8 percent of the total cars sold in USA were manual). But we in India still hold a certain prejudice against automatics.
