There are tons of manual cars here.
Your stereotype/meme is inaccurate.
I drive automatic, AMA
>>61887647
Why do you hate your brakes?
>>61887358
I hate driving.
>>61887564
shit man in texas most of my friends drive stick
>>61887358
I really have to drive an automatic some day to form an opinion
>>61888094
that's because you hang out with car people
>>61888159
It's very boring
I drove stick for a while. It was a bitch during stop and go traffic, so I switched. I do miss it though
I drove both and if you drive a manual you are a retarded.
>>61887358
Are you not aware that the automatic transmission was made by a Canadian?

I take the subway and buses every day and don't own a car.

manual is a bother
I bought an auto after 10 years of driving manual and it's fabulous

>>61888501
Not anymore, most automatics are just as good as on gas now. They're just worse in every other respect.
In Finland if you take your driver's license test in an automatic you get a special retard license that says you aren't allowed to drive manuals.
I think this is why automatics aren't popular here.
>>61887358
Manual transmissions are for hypermiling and for fun driving like offroading, racing, rec driving, etc.
Automatics are for everday leisurely driving and are especially nice in cities
Neither one is superior, although auto is the newer and more advanced technology. If you are a die hard stick fanatic then you might as well go all the way and start memeing about how power steering and traction control are shitty too. Maybe you could go way back and get yourself some solid rubber tires and an engine that needed cranked over by hand since your such a hardass Euro driver
>>61891248
Same in Ireland
Personally, I prefer the feel of manuals. Automatics are great for traffic and shit if you don't enjoy driving, but I like shifting and having stuff to do so manual all day
>downshifting
>>61893118
Traction control is shitty though.
>>61893118
Nice slippery slope into the reduction to absurdity
>>61887358
Leave it to Canada to put a dildo where the cup holder should be
My experience with automatics is limited to normal driving (with a bit of speeding).

I never learned to drive honestly. Are there cars without sticks?
My first car was a 93 Honda Accord with manual.
Try again.
What are the advantages of manual nowadays as a civilian driver? I thought newer automatic cars are even more fuel efficient, making manual obsolete.
I do think theyre pretty cool tho
>>61896701
somethin bout shit in snow you should know this canuck
>>61891248
>you get a special retard license for not knowing how to use manual transmission
Now this is something we seriously need.
>>61888159
automatics are comfy af though, I can't be bothered with shifting in traffic when i'm driving from work
>>61888073

>>61896746
oh yea but theres AWD for that
>>61887358
First car had a 6 puck clutch with heavy duty pressure plate and a short throw shifter. Try again.
>Wanting to drive a manual
Is this a meme or are you guys serious?
Name 3 reasons for driving Manual.
>>61896701
You save on brakes by engine braking, you get much better control over how much power is going to the wheels, you can take corners faster because of that (it's not like you should be taking corners at 60 km/h anyways but you can), they're cheaper to fix the transmission assuming you can actually drive manual properly, they last longer, and most importantly they're a lot more fun.
>>61896836
u get all d gurlz
>>61896836
I guess you wouldn't understand because you're too busy using your phone or playing with your dick.
>>61896836
they like driving so it's hopeless to argue
>>61896860
>>61896864
>>61896883
I like driving, too, but this seems like a pointless extra thing to have to worry about.
>>61896851
How much cheaper is it?
I'm not even sure I'd know how to drive with an automatic right away desu
>>61896701
You can boast about your driving skills on a malay drums circle forum
>>61896851
I see, thanks. I dont know shit about cars but I kinda want to get a manual cause its cool n stuff but I dont know if its worth all the hassle because the advantages are pretty minute... brakes are only like 40 bucks and you replace them like every 3 years. Plus you have to be a bit more skilled to "use" all these benefits and its harder to resell nowadays
>>61896836
>better gas milage
>more control over the vehicle
>burnouts
>more reliable mechanism by default
>engine braking
Also for anyone who doesn't know, canadians have about the same percentage of automatic cars as americans. Don't be fooled by pseudo yanks
>>61891248
There should really be exclusions both ways, because the number of "superior manual drivers" who admit to not expecting an automatic car to start rolling as soon as it's put in drive is fucking staggering.
>>61896883
This, it's FUN. That's the main reason I drive manual.
>>61896909
I've personally never had to replace a transmission because I've never had a car with more than 115000 km on it, but my friends who have tell me it's about $1500 to replace a clutch, $800 to replace the syncros on a manual, and about $3000 for an automatic. It all really depends heavily upon the make and model of the car but whenever labour is concerned it costs a lot less for a manual than an automatic.
>>61896965
>Only one hand on the steering wheel
>More control over the vehicle
>>61896963
Once you drive manual for more than a month it becomes muscle memory to shift. The only time it's a hassle is when you're doing something you shouldn't be doing while driving like using your cell phone, changing CDS, etc. It also really depends on how you drive. If you drive like a grandma all the time then manual won't be anymore fun than an automatic. If you actually care about shit like engine braking or like to race people then manual is for you. Even when I'm driving normally I just like the fact that manual provides me with something to do.

Identical to the laws here, with auto licence you will unable to drive manual. But with manual licence you can also drive auto.

That's fucking retarded desu. You shouldn't require 2 licenses to drive the same weight and vehicle class. Although what can you expect in nanny states like yours.

>>61897048
you let your hand off the wheel for half a second to switch gears every so often, are you retarded? you don't drive with your hand resting on the gear knob
>>61897108
>gotcha, thanks
>>61897205
>you don't drive with your hand resting on the gear knob
But it's so good for the gears if you do. It stops the tranny from slipping.
>>61897205
What about turns?
>>61897235
>tranny from slipping
lol
>>61896998
I wrecked the clutch in my first car. Good thing it was an old Honda and you can buy a new clutch for like 25 USD aftermarket. They're also super easy to repair.
>>61897246
Can you honestly not turn the wheel to one side with one hand? You could downshift before the corner I suppose but if you really need two hands to turn the wheel you probably have a vagina and shouldn't be driving manual anyways.
>>61897301
I've never seen someone take a 1 handed turn. Are you fucking with me?
>>61897274
>$25 clutch
hmmmm
>>61897235
no, it doesn't. it is bad for the gears. you're pushing the selector fork up against a rotating collar, and you can wear out the selector fork and make your gear selector have tons of play in it. it even says in a lot of owners manuals not to do it
>>61897246
