This is so sad to me. Manual transmissions are just more fun, no matter which car you have. I have a 10 year old Subaru Outback and even that (top) heavy PoS gives me joy on a curvy road. Of course I know that a modern auto is _way_ faster than a human, but I don't care in the slightest. My father in law has a Mercedes C63s and holy shit is it fast, but it would be 10x better with a stick. Spending a ton of money on a Porsche 911 but getting an automatic is baffling to me—unless you actually race it. Life is too short, find fun where you can. Don't let the robots win. |

Well, the thing is, you've found fun in how ICEs suck. You (like everyone saying the manual is better) have turned a bug into a feature ;). Personally I hope electric cars will win, and there's no manual transmission for electric cars, because electric engines have flat(ter) efficiency curve and don't need gears.
