I've been driving vehicles with manual transmissions exclusively for over 8 years now. Every time I drive an automatic I can't help but feel like I'm a passenger.
Yeah yeah yeah, there's the PDK from Porsche and the DSG from VW, but if it doesn't have 3 pedals I don't want to hear about it.
I'm curious which AGO members drive a manual every day. I guess a garage queen counts too. ;)

My garage queen is a manual.
My daily is a DSG7. I still love DSG transmissions and I'm constantly driving it in "manual" mode.

Been driving manual for 20 years, but I think my next car will be an automatic, seems car makers are swaying away from them.

Me. I drive automatics all day at work. Occasionally there's a manual.
Another manual driver here.

Manuals Forever!! IMO they make driving fun.
Sure some Dual Clutch Autos, automatic and PDK's might be quicker in shifting, however, are BORING once you drive stick.
I crack up about autos being able to "BLIP" the throttle when going in a lower gear. That is the computer doing that.
For manual users that's called heal and toe downshift. If the car has only 2 Pedals then that is called an automatic to me.
Manual all the way!!

I call it heel/toe because I'm not healing anyone. :righton:

I'm glad you thought it was funny because I actually laughed out loud when I read his response. :laughing:
I'm thrilled to see so many manual drivers here! :righton:
