Hello! I am a 19 y/o college student. I commute about 60-70 miles (back and forth) a day for school, with lots of traffic but mainly on flat roads. I’ve just learned manual and have been saving up for a 2004 Acura RSX type S as it is my dream car. But even since I started saving I keep pondering if I should go automatic or manual with all my commuting. I do like to do my makeup or eat while I am driving, which I know a manual in traffic would be difficult. Any advice is appreciated! If you have stories or tips for commuting with a manual transmission please share!

  1. Get a manual, focus on the driving.

    If you start doing other stuff while driving an automatic, you shouldn‘t drive an automatic. 🙁

    Make up or eat while driving 🤦‍♂️ yeah, get the manual, so you won’t distract yourself.

    Sorry, but doing your makeup while you’re driving? Please get off the road.

  4. Don’t do your makeup while driving. Commuting in a manual is fine unless there’s a lot of stop and go traffic.
