I used to drive stick in one of the most dense cities and worst traffic on the planet. My left calf muscle is noticeably larger than my right. Manual is enjoyable and freeing, but at this point I prefer an automatic in urban areas with heavy traffic. The volume knob shifter is still weird though.

I live in a city famous for it’s bad traffic, but prefer driving a manual anyway (when driving a car, at least – actual first place goes to riding my bicycle).

Yeah, but when it takes an hour to drive 4 kms, it gets old pretty quick.

I agree with you, truly. But in my scenario, riding a bicycle in third world traffic that is hostile to cyclists, at 33-35C and 100% humidity, and very polluted air, isn’t really ideal. Having said that, there is public transportation, which isn’t all too great, but at least it exists.

That sounds either like Bucharest or Istambul. Deffo an automatic is needed in both.
