Why is an automatic transmission better than manual transmission?

Question:
Even given that automatic transmissions have caught up with manual transmissions in fuel efficiency, cost (getting there), and acceleration, it seems to me that you're sacrificing control, letting it make decisions for you. I know that people would like an extra hand to run other errands in the car, but I'm not one that needs that extra hand very much. Also, performance of automatics consistently degrade from brand new until it's time for a major service, when manuals offer consistent performance until the clutch begins to give out.

Automatic transmissions, when serviced appropriately and driven correctly create better performance, gas milage and dependability. Be careful. Most dealerships (sales-people and service reps) will tell you incorect ways of driving and servicing transmissions (their way of working on a tranny is to pull it out and replace it with a factory remanufatured model).

Find a good transmission shop, ask if there are any updates they can do (many transmissions have updates in the valve body that are inexpensive, yet greatly improve performance). Depending on your driving, ask about a transmission cooler and apropriate service schedule.

I too prefer manual transmission for the most part.
But automatic is better in stop-and-go traffic on hills. Not only is it easier, but less wear-and-tear on the clutch.
Also, some people have physical conditions that make the clutch harder to use, or it can cause back pain or sacroiliac pain in some individuals.
