Many new car models are starting to hit the market equipped with automatic transmission gearboxes. It's almost like a standard of modernization. However, many drivers prefer to drive manual transmission cars out of habit.
This fact is also the main reason why at Rincars Rent a Car, we offer a variety of cars with manual transmission.
Even so, automotive technology evolves, and inevitably, even manual transmissions become more advanced and provide a more enjoyable and relaxing driving experience.
That's why at Rincars we offer you many options for renting manual cars, new models with modern equipment, in impeccable technical condition.
About manual gearbox cars
In 1886 Karl Benz first patented a three-wheeled car, "Motorwagen."
Although the cars began to become more sophisticated in later years, they had simple single-speed engines.
But in 1891, the first car with a multi-speed manual gearbox appeared. This is given by Panhard et Levassor and offered 3 steps and speeds that could be changed manually.
This was a major step in the development of automotive technology, but still, the asynchronous motor came with a major limitation in gear shifting.
Every time the driver wanted to change gears, he had to find a well-defined rev range and speed, which was quite difficult to do. Because most users could not shift gears as the builder intended, the asynchronous gearbox made grinding noises due to imperfect torque.
For the first time, the 1929 Cadillac introduced the synchronized gearbox that came with timing rings. The synchronous motor brings the advantage of changing gears much more easily, becoming the general standard in the construction of cars with manual gearboxes to this day.
Manual car advantages
By comparison, manual transmission cars are rather superior to older automatic models. But nowadays, manual cars have advantages that are more about habit and functionality.
When we talk about the habitual advantages of a manual gearbox, we mean that many drivers always drive such a car and are much more engaged in the driving activity when they are constantly changing gears.
On the other hand, the clutch wears out faster. And for those who do not have high control over the shifter and clutch, the manual gearbox is uncomfortable.
But when we talk about the functional advantages, a manual car is very easy to set free in case you have to tow it. What's more, it can also be turned on without battery power if you push it a few meters.
Inevitably, the trend of automotive technology is to develop the robotic automotive gearbox. However, knowing our customers, we at Rincars continue to offer a wide range of manual cars, with models to suit everyone:
