I switched to automatic a year ago and I'm glad I did. Stick shift feels ancient already, and besides it's just annoying once you realize it can be done automatically.
I'm from The Netherlands though, so most of my colleagues and friends call me "grandpa" now, because automatic is, as they say, for old people; almost everyone here drives stick shift.
- RyJones 10y agoI rented a car at Schiphol last month and the automatic was cheaper than a stick. I drive a stick in the US, I was expecting a stick there, but I was A OK with an automatic
- exclusiv 10y agoI don't feel it's annoying. If you have a shifter it feels like you're actually driving. People will long for manuals as we move more and more into autopilot. Manual transmission. Double edge razor. Smoker grill. Get off my lawn. It's kind of beautiful.
- clarry 10y agoI use a straight razor, and would love a man tran. But I can't really afford a car and I got this 20-year-old automatic for free so it's what I live with.
