Is that a thing, I have never seen people link manliness to driving a stick. How aer Manuals better, Automatics are clearly the better choice. You are just adding an extra layer of a non sense to the driving experiences .And many automatics have Manual mode. pinky0926 posted... This was true in the early 90s. It is not true anymore, unless your criteria is cheaper to service (maybe) and you just like the experience. It's so predictable that every thread about transmissions devolves into this back and forth, every goddamn time. We should all be on the same team, because the powers that be want everyone to have a self driving electric car in the next decade or so. pinky0926 posted... I much prefer an automatic, but one fucking thing I can't stand is the overengineering of every modern vehicle feature. I had to scrap my Passat. Why? Because the computer for the electric handbrake malfunctioned, meaning it would cost thousands to get it road legal. All this on a car that doesn't even need a fucking handbrake. Yeah one thing I like about my Durango is that it still has a mechanical shifter and parking break, and it's a relatively new vehicle. No dials or buttons or setting the brake in the touchscreen nonsense. What dumb engineer thought that would be a smart idea?? It's not even cost efficient. "YEAH, let's remove the simple, cable operated brake and make it computer controlled with a hundred different points of failure, that's what the customer wants!". <cite>kelemvor posted [p:979587932] in American m...
