This will probably get some hate but stick shift is an anachronism to an era when it was needed due to lack of computerization. Some purists will say it's better for high performance vehicles, but when do you really need that manual shift that the automatic won't do? It's like saying more people are growing up not knowing how to use a rotary telephone - of course, it's no longer necessary, like manual shifting.
- bcrl 6y agoI find that driving a manual transmission makes me pay more attention to what I'm doing while driving, which is a good thing. Studies in the airline industry have shown that too much automation is a bad thing. Humans aren't good at transitioning from being outside of the control loop to being completely in control in an emergency situation. Higher levels of engagement are a good thing in some ways.
