Not having to deal with gear shifting is a huge benefit for me. It takes out one non-trivial element from the whole driving experience and lets me focus more on all the other things you need to do while driving. It’s also more relaxing, especially combined with adaptive cruise control. And I never worry I will mess up the when starting from a full stop and have to restart the car. Especially when starting from an uphill.
From what you described you’re the type of person that likes to have full control over the car and how it behaves, and that’s totally fine. But many of us don’t, we just care to get from point A to B with as little friction as possible. Sure, it’s more expensive to get and maintain, but that’s a price I’m fully willing to pay.

- pantulis 2y agoShifting gears manually is not harder than, say, walking or running. It becomes second nature. I think it's more fun as you _feel_ the relationship between the engine revs and the movement of the vehicle but in congested traffic it becomes a nuisance too. Are there any dual transmission vehicles which manual and automatic transmissions???
- Zak 2y ago> Are there any dual transmission vehicles which manual and automatic transmissions??? Yes, but Koenigsegg is not a brand that's in budget for most of us.
- orwin 2y agoYes, luxury 'sport' cars. You often have automatic and sequencial. Sequential is manual but better when doing 0-130 in 3s,a bit worse when doing regular driving.
