I learned to drive stick driving my FR-S out of the dealership. Not my greatest decision but nobody I knew had a manual car.
Reminder: you don't have the right to bitch about the lack of manual transmissions in modern cars if you have never...
I have tho, and im going to use my right to bitch to its fullest.
previous car was to, also a bit of a unicorn (jetta wagon tdi w/manual trans)
Why would a lightweight, cheap, rwd, high-revving sports car low on power need a 6-speed? Really?
Why would a pigfat barge come with anything other than a slushmatic? They aren't the sort of cars that enthusiasts buy.
I don't mind as long as they give us sequential manuals instead, since manuals are now an enthusiast thing and keeping shit familiar for boomer bob shouldn't matter so much anymore.
Traditional manuals are kind of shitty
>pattern means that even if you have a super short throw shifter and put dogs in, you'll always be out of gear longer for some changes than others
>possibility of missing gates and hitting a wall or the wrong gear
But guess why we're not getting sequentials? You fucking europeans. You still DD manuals so manuals have to stay traditional and familiar as to not upset you and your strange love affair with the crunch stick.
automakers penalize manual buyers
like honda, if you want a civic with leather and a manuel, then buy a acura ilx
the acura ilx looks like fucking ass

I'm afraid you might be clinically retarded
Sorry about that
