And where are you from? And how old? Not “do you” but just if you know how.

I’m in the US, mid 30s and can (and do) drive a manual transmission.

Yes because here you can’t get a driver’s license without learning how to drive a manual transmission. All your lessons and final driving exam are always in a manual transmission vehicle. (Portugal, 28 years old)

However I know many people who switch to automatic after they’re done with their exam because they don’t want to deal with it. I’ve always heard that manual is for people who like to drive and auto is for people who just need a car to get from A to B.
