The fuck? Manual is far superior in every way. Who in the world argues over that lol. Automatics suck. And yes I hate the new ones too.

    Genuinely I have been heavily downvoted for saying that, but that might have been more of a Reddit thing.

    Thats odd to me. I would figure maybe you just got downvoted for liking cars in general

    This indeed happened at least five times during my life on Reddit, usually when a thread you commented on later made it to /all. I think that some people took it as if I was saying that my way was better. Also I don't even own a car and haven't in 20 years, but if I had one, I'd want a manual.

    I'm too stupid to drive stick. I wish I could blame it on being Gen Z but I'm too old for that!

    16 year old girls in europe all drive stick just fine. It takes maybe a half day to learn.

    Where in Europe can you drive a car at 16?

    I’m assuming there are other country’s but you get those Fiat 500s in Germany with the weird wheel set up that allow 16 year old to drive, in the U.K. you can drive a Robin Reliant at 16 as there’s no reverse gear.

    It’s not common though.

    Manual is far superior in every way.

    Except fuel efficiency, longevity, use of use...

    I forgot to mention automatics are cheaper, more available, require less maintenance...

    Manual is better for control and way more fun, nothing you have said changes that. Automatics are ass

    The claim was that "manual is far superior in every way". Which is false. They are superior in exactly one way, which is that they are more fun.

    But none of this matters because 1. No one should be driving a car with a transmission in it anyways; and 2. We need to have way fewer cars being driven in general.

    Manual is a chore, barely saves fuel these days, and requires you to use both hands, leaving you unable to solo drive and shoot in the impending apocalypse. And who has the time to make friends these days?

    /s I think
