I recently had to go back to a manual shift Mercedes car after 2 decades of driving very fine automatic BMW gearboxes. While the transmision is very nice for a manual compared to those from the old days, the overwhelming feeling was ... why? This process has been automated and optimized to the point where the computer can gear switch better than the best drivers on a daily commute. Why do some people still insist on manuals?
Anecdotally, nearly 100% of the 'Í do not like automatic tramsmission' people that I know are woman, all of an age between 45 and 55. Somehow they still take pride in riding stick, while the rest of the world has moved on from being Mantafahrers.
