With its planetary gear set, you could argue that the transmission of the Fort Model T - which came out way back in 1911 - was the earliest ancestor of the modern automatic transmission. The very first true, commercially available automatic transmission, however was the "Hydra-Matic," installed in the 1940 Oldsmobile. Most cars today - including the Subaru Impreza - are available with either.

Chances are, if you're reading this, your Subaru Impreza has the latter. A manual transmission has several advantages over the automatic.

It's a less complicated mechanism, meaning there are fewer things that can go wrong with it. It is also more efficient; there's no "slip," or wasted energy when going from one gear to the next as there is with automatics. Shifting gears is a bit more involved, however; it necessitates the use of a foot-operated clutch. A clutch in any kind of machinery is a device used to disengage one moving part from another (in fact, even automatic transmissions have a clutch - but it operates, well - automatically!). Eventually, the clutch in any car is going to wear out. The clutch in a vehicle driven primarily on the open road will naturally last longer than that of one driven in the city.
