Manual cars are safer on icy/slippery roads.

I lived in Minnesota for 30 years, and can tell you that's completely bullshit. Your tires have far more to do with safety on icy roads than your transmission.

I drive tractor trailers for a living and drive manual while living in Canada, downshifting is very good for preventing slipping and sliding in situations where you need to slow down. Tires are very important, but being able to down shift and slow down with a more natural feeling will prevent you from sliding as well.

Did you know that you can downshift an automatic transmission, too?
