It's not bait. Given current technology, there's literally no reason to buy a new car with a manual transmission. They have a take rate of less than 5% and are on their way out for a reason. But I'd still take a manual over an auto on most cars three years old or older.
Paddle shifters are superior to stick shifters in every single conceivable way. Bite me
I replied cause i agree with OP. all cars should be auto-only or auto with optional manual.
If you are autistic enough to purposely forego the objectively more fun experience of stick shift so you can accelerate slightly faster you should kill yourself. If your excuse is that you commute in traffic and hate shifting you should also kill yourself because your life is shit.
Paddle shifters /are/ better than manual, you get to be more efficient and have better acceleration with paddles rather than manual with a much slimmer chances of error.
>objectively more fun
>objectively more (subjective perspective)
You're legitimately retarded.

only an autist would genuinely try to argue that paddle shifters are more fun than stick shift. kill you're self.
no they´re not.
>this manual 1996 Ford Ranger is more fun than that 911 GT3 PDK because manual
holy shit this autistic strawman
yeah that's totally what I meant good job.
