I know some one who had to sell their manual trans car because their knee or leg could no longer deal with the clutch.
My problem is do to a work related incident
I was looking at a SI when I test drove it from 3rd to 4th my left knee gave out and I couldn’t regained strength in it for a while so the salesman had to drive it back it was disappointing but I like my EXT just as well

Oh trust me I know how to drive a manual. But working the clutch every time you want to move a car length for over an hour straight might not be what somebody wants to do everyday. Letting your foot of a brake and letting your car roll on its own is so much easier to do. But hey that’s my opinion and I’m sure most people will agree that that’s really a big advantage an auto has over a manual

I wish these types of threads were deleted. Some folks prefer auto some folks prefer manual, there's pros and cons of both. Drive what you want is the only real answer and don't let anyone tell you you're wrong if you're happy.

For this specific scenario... manual. Less chance of your car being stolen by an alien in the process since it's unlikely the manuals have survived in the era of interplanetary space travel. Though a manual flying saucer would be tits.
Flying Saucers are not Manual, they are Alienual,

Now that cannot be said for Alien Probes, as all of those are fantasized by Man !!

I drive a Manual, but I do it so automatically. The gears just change as if by themselves :)

CVT you dont buy a machine and then do half its job for it!

WTF is even the point of a clutch pedal in 2019!

With a manual it more of a machine you have the thrill of down shifting on a curve and up shifting on a straight away

I wanted a manual, but got a CVT with paddle shifters. I don't regret it actually. I use my paddles all the time.
