Do you realize how many shifts you would make in 300K?! You must know how to E brake on a hill. Can’t slip the clutch or abuse the transmission or it’s 💵💵 If you’re not a good shifter you will do ALL of this plus your passengers feel the lurching!! Also your left leg will cramp on you.! It’ll be bigger too!!😊🙄 If you drive a ten speed automatic with paddle shift you will usually win a drag race!! You won’t want a crash box any more!!

My rule is I will always have at least one car that’s a stick. I’m fine with autos, and even want one in certain circumstances, but I always want to be able to drive a stick when I want to drive one. That goes for electric cars too. I’m fine with the shift towards electric cars as long as someone makes a stick shift version. Yes I understand they don’t need to shift(mostly) and that’s actually a benefit of their design, but I don’t care. I want someone to make an electric car, with an artificial power band, where it needs to be shifted manually (with a clutch), no matter how inefficient that makes it. It’s not about efficiency for me, it’s about fun, and I won’t give that up.

If you're looking at for example a CVT then you can fully expect it to detonate itself within 50k to 150,000 miles. See also, Subaru.

Real men also love women who can drive a stick.

Love my manuals for the good ol' clutch start...not to mention control, fuel efficiency, and just plain fun.

In Argentina we drive manual. The automatic option is cheaper when the car is used. But lately there have been people wanting the automatic. They say it's comfortable... I really don't mind shifting gears. In fact, I like it. And when you are in the highway you are in 5th or 6th all the time.

Not sure how this is connected to whether or not you're a man, but okay.

This guy is so knowledgeable, would love to buy him coffee one day. He shares so much.

when I was in highschool, and had no money.. I used to park my ford pickup on hills or places where I could push start it cause the starter was out :)

I had a manual Subaru loyal with 290,000 Mi on it and the only reason why I got rid of it was because it leaked too much oil but ran like a champ

Many real women do as well.

Automatics are much better in heavy traffic. You don't have to worry about burning the clutch. Also I had a Honda civic with a automatic transmission that had over 200,000 miles on it. Plus on long drives cruise control is a godsent.

Manuals can have cruise control as well. I’ve never driven one without it, and I’ve driven plenty of manuals(but I’m sure some don’t have it, especially older cars). There are a couple differences though: putting in the clutch will disengage the cruise control just like stepping on the brake. You also can’t change gears without resetting the cruise control, but it’s unlikely you would need to anyways, as most uses for cruise control are on the highway, where you’re likely to be in a single gear the whole time (hence the term CRUISE control). I agree they are a pain in traffic, which is one of the reasons why my rule is that I will always have a car with manual transmission, but I also would love to have at least one automatic. I just want to have access to a stick when I want to have fun. Otherwise, automatics make more sense for most of my driving. Right now I’ve only got one car, so I have a stick. If/when I get a second, I’ll get an auto.

@@clayrydick4561 I have never seen a manual transmission car with cruise control ever. Maybe cars that are paddle shifted or that have the + - next to the gear selector but not a 6 speed manual.

@@roadkillpotato3468 Well it sounds like neither of us have seen any car that the other has! I drive a 2004 Subaru legacy wagon right now, 5speed traditional mt (I agree paddle shifters are not real sticks, with the possible exception of early paddle shift super cars and the likes that often have dual clutch systems), but before my current car, I was driving a 2001 Passat wagon, and both had cruise control. I have also been a valet in my past, and every manual I drove there that I could remember had one. It’s possible one of the older Jeeps I drove a couple times didn’t, but I suspect that’s just down to cost and complexity. Anyways, yeah they can have them, but it also sounds like a lot don’t. Good to know!

Also one of the best anti-theft systems on the market

Did you know the CVT transmission is actually a disposable transmission. the metal chain is rubbing and squeezed between to metal rotating plates.

I drive a semi truck, 10 speed manual transmission. I once had my starter go out in the middle of no where. Had a tow pull my semi to pop the clutch to start it. They've come out with automatics, but I'll always prefer the 10 speeds instead

I still have the first car I ever bought. 1996 Honda Accord manual transmission. It took me so long to pay it off! I got it 96 when I turned 16 though. It still drives great but I have minimized her road time long ago.

I learned on a manual Tercel hatchback (4 speed)… I could push it, jump in and pop start it alone lol. I drove a stick for the next 25 years - now you can’t find the car you want with a manual. The list gets shorter every year of available models. ‘Mericans. But hey, I’m still driving Toyotas!

So that is why, I been used my manual transmission clutch with my jeep wranglers, I learn a lot it was not too bad after all, and now I’m the clutch driver…

Yup. Both my cars are manual. Push start really does come in handy especially if u have alot of people to push

Just avoid using the spoiler to grab hold of when pushing lol

Thank you Scotty kilmer and Merry Christmas 🎄

I have a manual transmission in my Ford Focus and they are fun. I've known how to drive a manual transmission since I was 14 years old

My first manual transmission was a '49 GMC ton and a half flatbed in a hayfield, when I was a kid. Then I got big enough to toss bales. Driving the truck was better.😂

I just love how no one asks to borrow my car now 😊

I daily drive a 97 Honda accord vtec with a manual transmission and it has 269k miles lol it runs like a top too just passed smog last week with no issues

I have a 2008 Impreza 5mt and I love it!

When I was a young lad, a manual trans was a must. It was cool ! Now after 55 years an auto trans is a must. Now I lay back and that is cool !
