It’s also a cultural thing. Here manual transmission for fuel powered car cars is the most popular choice by far. People here sort of think that automatic is for people that can’t drive or old people.
Man, so many people on Lemmy just don’t live in reality. Everything some of you guys say is just theory on paper based on a vision of the world that doesn’t and never has existed. The shit some people on this website suggest is just comical, like they’ve really never thought about what they’re even advocating for more than a second and realized all that it actually entails. Y’all need jobs and bills to pay.
I learned to drive with MT and now I drive with AT. It’s just way too much comfortable.
MT in a grocery-getter/going-to-work-machine is rather pointless, in my opinion. Manual transmission cars get boring pretty quickly during city driving, traffic jams etc…
In a sporty car on a winding mountain/country road, however… ah, so satisfying to row your own gears during a bit of spirited driving.
Sorry I like better fuel economy and support the Right to Repair
I do prefer manuals. But the fuel economy of autos largely surpassed manuals a few years ago. Can’t beat 10 speeds or a cvt with a stick shift.
For new cars, sure, but I’ll be dammed if I let anyone tell me that my shitbox(es) would be more efficient as an auto
This feels like I’m being attacked for driving a manual clapped out civic with poor AC…damn I’m broke cuz
