This is true as a neutral observer
>>222308781Manual is more fun, especially playing around on ice. I used to spin my old Sentra around and around in parking lots until the cops got wise. Put it in neutral, pull the handbrake, and crank the steering wheel.
>>222308781People drive manual because it's cheaper.
>>222308781Manual is cheaper, both the car and insurance, that's what it boils down to in the end
>>222308841Yeah it's also more fun. Easier to jumpstart too.
>>222308781Both have stuck the gear shift up their bum.
I got duped into driving manual initially like everyone says you HAVE to drive manual without questioning it, later on I realized its dumb as fuck and now I just drive automatic and not give a fuck
>>222308781manual cars are becoming unsellable here, zoomers want avtomatik
I drive a big rig and I don’t even use manual
>>222308781>>222308816>>222311266most drivers are retarded, if automatic handholding will make them crash less i don't see why you would be against it
modern cars are so uninspired there is no point in getting a manual, you can't really make driving any more fun if the car is fundamentally anti-soul with all of the cost cutting and nannystate bullshitI probably still would, but I am too poor to buy a new car so I don't contribute to the market trendsalso all the car sharing vehicles are autos
>>222308781I don't know anyone who has an automaticThis is just southern Europe and the Balkan I thinkiirc they have automatics in northern Europe
>>222308781I drove manuals till the age of 32.Shifted to a dual clutch after, autos are just better. Everything else is cope.
>>222308841It's becoming more expensive because people can't drive it though and the factory has to produce them "special" because normies prefer automatic.At least in America idk.>>222310267>later on I realized its dumb as fuck and now I just drive automatic and not give a fuckThis.Only reason manual would be sensible to me is that it's less likely to be stolen (in America), but I don't live in an area where people steal cars anyways.
I always got the impression that automatic transmissions hadn't made their way to Europe yet and so they aren't making a conscious decision really to drive manual.
>>222311669we aren't reallymy father recently bought a brand new car after he crashed his old one, I asked him why he didn't buy an automatic he told me he "just didn't think about it"
>>222311317well it also makes you lazier so normies will drive and scroll Instagram on automatic
>>222311669Exactly I can tell you my parents' reasoning for buying a manual car last year, it was slightly cheaper so they went and bought a manual
