The main disadvantages of automatic cars are named

Automatic transmission makes driving less stressful by eliminating the need for manual shifting. However, some drivers believe that such cars are overrated because they have certain disadvantages.

These include expensive maintenance and higher fuel consumption. French expert Denis Renard told Sante Plus about the main disadvantages of automatic cars.

Expensive maintenance

Cars with automatic transmissions offer more driving benefits, which is why they are more expensive. According to the expert, maintenance and repairs can also be expensive.

The automatic transmission is more complex and spare parts are not so common, so the cost of repairs will be more expensive.

High fuel consumption

Cars with automatic transmissions consume more fuel than their manual transmission counterparts. Cost overruns are likely to be at the level of 10-15%.

Automatic transmission offers a more comfortable driving experience, but some drivers may find it too monotonous.

Thus, the choice of gearbox depends on personal preferences. While some believe that a car with a manual transmission is more cost-effective, others prefer comfort and want to save a minimum of effort, especially when it comes to driving in big cities.
