No.

Are you fucking kidding me? I'll play along though since there are other valid reasons

>more control over my vehicle
>safer because I'm more engaged in my driving, and therefore alert
>more reliable than automatics, at least the shitty DCT ones Ford offers

Manual
>I CHOOSE when to shift
>Engine braking
>Closer connection to vehicle, more control
>Simpler than an automatic, I can tear it apart and know what everything is, easier to service
>More engaging experience
>Nogs cant drive stick
>Because it's more fun

>nogs cant drive stick
this.

How do you deal with driving a manual in traffic though, mostly talking about stop and go traffic

I shift on my automatic way more fun than stick

>muh connection to this car
>more engaging experience
god, just shut the fuck up. you sound like analog faggots who say its a more pure experience. all it is is a different way to drive

for a daily drive, I will always choose automatic. If I want to drive like a maniac, I will always choose a manual.

if you actually care what gear you are in for some reason other than performance, a automatic with a shiftronic will be just fine

I like both, but drive a manual so people don't give me constant shit.

Plus manuals sound much better honestly.

I drive manual because everytime I take my tinder date on a ride we end up fugging.

Something about that stick and third pedal that gets em hot and bothered
