And where are you from? And how old? Not “do you” but just if you know how.

I’m in the US, mid 30s and can (and do) drive a manual transmission.

      I wouldn’t buy an automatic bike, coz I ride bikes for fun.

      The daily get-to-work shitbox? I don’t want to babysit the gearbox, just do your thing while I chill to some tunes.

        I knew someone that has that issue on their Fiesta, luckily that was only for those specific vehicles.

        It’s the engine size really, I have driven the automatic version of my car (SEAT Mini) and it was awful. However trying a bigger car was much better.

      Manual is more fun if you enjoy driving, automatic is easier if you just want to get where you’re going. That’s literally the only real difference.

      And modern automatic gearbox are actually more performant and use less gas than human shifters. We’re not driving 90s cars anymore.
