I got my first automatic here in China, mostly because it would be really hard to sell an manual transmission car later on. Honestly, I cannot see the point in a manual anymore. It's a part of the mechanism of the car that I have no business dealing in and should be abstracted away. Like the choke in older cars. The idea that I'm somehow a more inattentive driver now because I don't have to worry about the gear I'm in is such complete nonsense.
