    I believe they’re just cheaper and technically they allow you to get a bit more from your car, but yea apart from that, not much

    In some countries there are more manual cars so I get them, but trashing on automatic is just dumb. It’s much more enjoyable (people I know told me that). Most manual drivers have muscle memory so it’s not really something that takes too much place in their mind, but I guess having to remember less could make you more focused on the road.

    Disclaimer: I have an automatic driver license, and no manual driver license haha

      On contrary, in my opinion. Especially in cities, where manual forces me to anticipate the next turn, light or other drivers. Automatic makes me zone out and focus on everything but driving.
