I have driven manual since I could. In italy it is still the norm to have a manual. Automatic transmission are becoming more and more popular with hybrid/EVs. I also feel, for some reason, that there is also a stigma around automatic transmissions being less reliable (when I actually think it's the opposite). I would change my manual for an automatic in a nano second if I could.
