And where are you from? And how old? Not “do you” but just if you know how.

I’m in the US, mid 30s and can (and do) drive a manual transmission.

    29, Poland/Germany. Yes, like almost everyone in Europe. Although, it is getting more popular to be automatic-only. I like driving manual, however prefer automatic due to convenience of it. I don’t have a car at the moment (public transport serves me well), but if I had, I’d go for automatic.

      This is exactly my sentient.

      Canada mid 30s. A car is essentially required outside of a major city but after my first two cars were manual the incredible inconvenience of crawling traffic got to me and my current car is an automatic.

      I found I had to constantly hug the car in front which meant always feathering the clutch, if I didn’t and the gap grew just large enough for a car to fit someone always jumped lanes into the gap.
