Heard the manual vs automatic argument million times. I learned to drive using manual, my first few cars were all manuals and this is all I knew for a long time.

When we bought our first car together with my wife we got an automatic. She is a less confident driver, and wanted an automatic car. I dont mind it at all, got used to it and now I don't miss manual at all. She is a much safer driver, under stress or in a sticky situation the manual transmission is a an extra thing to worry about and I feel calmer knowing that she can fully concentrate on the road instead of shifting.

I think manual is great for experienced drivers, but automatic is so much safer for beginners and people like my wife.

i had a manual mustang cobra a long time ago and dealing with the clutch in stop and go traffic could get exhausting. my leg would actually start getting tired after a while.

I also learned on manual in Europe and switched to automatic when I moved to the US because it's the only option.

i like driving while being able to rest one arm out the window, or sip from a drink or something.

If I need to quickly accelerate out of a busy turning I put it into Sport mode and turn Eco Mode off
