  • I suspected quite a lot of support from those who prefer manuals despite having never spent any time driving an automatic

    Or perhaps you need to accept that people genuinely prefer stirring the pot themelves.

    I have both a manual and automatic car. Horses for courses.

    Auto around town and for the daily slog, manual for fun. No auto will ever come close to providing the joy of a perfectly rev matched heel and toe down shift.
