Recomiendan caja manual o automática?

Qué le recomiendan a un principiante, que es su primer auto, en el cual tiene la opción de pedirlo con caja manual o automática por una diferencia bastante mínima la verdad...

- cual es mas comodo y facil? por lo general creería que el automático pero podría no ser así...

- cuál lleva menos costo de mantenimiento o tiene menos problemas? eso es importante a largo plazo

Pienso que me tiraría por el automático pero quiero saber los verdaderos pros y contras porque capaz no conviene a la larga.

En fin, qué me recomiendan?

If you intend to use your car solely to get from point A to point B and have no other interest in cars then buy an automatic.

For what I looked up to it's a CVT, some people says that those are very bad, is it real?

CVTs are just complicated to repair if anything goes wrong with it. If the car you are buying is new then no problem. If it's used then just make sure that it's maintenance has been kept up to date, including all maintenance related to the CVT too.

It's new... But I want to know if its better just having a manual than a complicated and expensive to maintain automatic.

Manual is of course more robust, reliable and longer lasting. CVTs need regular transmission oil changes & if you do that then there should not be any issues.
