I know autos are faster these days but manuals are so much more fun and always will be. It really sucks that they're going away :(
They're all fun and games until you're in stop go traffic. I agree though I miss driving a manual. Also they were easier to work on and tended to be cheaper to fix. That might not be the case anymore considering you're pretty much guaranteed to to have to special order parts.
Stop and go traffic with a manual after working out legs is something special
I actually found stop and go traffic jams with a manual easier. All i needed was the clutch and id use it to drive the average speed of the stop and go traffuc jam, even if it was 0.5km/h. Cant do that on my automatic, it will speed up to a set amount of km if i release the break and press the gas even a little.
Edit: i will admit i have big feet and driving is more foot work for me than it is leg work. My legs barely move while driving, not even to go from gas to break, so it might be easier for me, idk
I guess it depends on the car, but most modern cars it's NBD to drive manual in stop-and-go traffic. There are a handful of models that can make it a pain (e.g. Challenger, Nissan Z), but Honda and Mazda and many others are easy peasy even in dense traffic.
And propulsion, way funner even if it's worse.
I would disagree if we were talking about regular cars, but these hypercars should've manual transmissions still since they are an experience and I would think people, specially those in europe, actually take them to a track.
