I have to say that manual transmission is partly a personal choice. I really like the physical process of driving, and the whole clutch/gear change routine is as important to me as steering. It’s me controlling the car, changing gear when I want to and when I need to. The clutch really helps at times for braking, getting round bends.
We have some great windy country roads here, and to be totally honest, I really can’t imagine driving around them in an automatic. The whole fun of it would be missing.
How's the traffic out in your area??
My last 2 cars were manuals, but with traffic here in NY/NJ, by the time I got home I thought my leg was going to fall off.
Surprisingly though, I still feel like I'M controlling the car with the AutoStick. I press the gas and it goes, and I press the brake and that usually works too.... Technology is amazing here in the states I guess...
