Manuals are fun until you have to drive in heavy traffic.

I was good about holding the clutch/gas steady on hills. It's not good for the clutch, though.

Yea, riding the clutch like that is a good way to burn one up in a hurry.

I tell you this, after my daughter turned 16 and my step daughter came up on her 16th birthday it occured to me that making your kid drive a stick will serve many purposes.
One of them is keeping them off the damn phone when they are driving since it takes 2 hands. I lost the battle though, both girls have automatics. |

I remember when they came out with 4-speed automatics(AOD)in the 80s.
My car has a 6-speed automatic. Not sure why. Fuel economy, most likely. Very little shift shock. Plus, at 80mph the engine is only running at 2500 RPMs.

6 speed manual in my Subaru. Only time I don't like it is in heavy traffic. Even then it doesn't bother me so much... I just feel like I am wearing the hell out of the clutch.

If I bought a car that was just for fun, it would be a manual. Unfortunately, due to my line of work I require vehicles that are utilitarian in nature and driven primarily in heavy city traffic, so they're automatics.
