Automatic. I never learned manual, i'm not going to buy a manual card just to learn how to drive it.

Depends on vehicle and location.

If I'm in a 90s Ferrari on a country road I'd want a box shift.Off roading in an old Landcruiser manual.Just driving around in a populated area like Hawaii with all the traffic and hills,I'd take a automatic any day.

if I hypothetically have whatever cars I want, give me the auto for daily driving and the manual for fun driving.

Is there a practical reason to take manual over automatic?

I like driving a manual more because I live in Canada. In winter, when there's lots of ice, I like having the option to gear down instead of breaking to reduce the speed of my vehicle.

Manual is more fun imo but sucks if you have to deal with slot of stop and go traffic.

Its huge in every country ive been in outside the united states. in the US it only seems standard on the cheapest or sports vehicles.

driving isn't supposed to be fun

it's a means of transportation from A to B

anything else is wasteful, degeneracy, and marxism

Paddles, all the benefits of manual, none of the clutch pedal, and fully automatic when you want it.

One of the more humorous stories i have heard involved a millenial aged guy who tried to steal a stick shift vehicle, but he failed and was caught shortly after because he didn't know how to shift.

Automatic. I like having a free hand, and not clutching in and out, and not changing gears.

Cheaper and easier to service, more accessible in many countries, and frankly it's fun for people and that's a fair reason in a lot of contexts.

Other than that, you're right. The usual arguments people try to make (better control, more efficient, whatever) are severely outdated.

Manual, I like having the extra control over the powertrain. I've never owned an automatic vehicle.
