You\u2019re not really driving the car with an auto transmission, not by a long shot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #000000\">Manuals give you the ability to truly control the vehicle you\u2019re driving. Not only are you controlling the power and the engine performance, but you\u2019re able to feel the reaction of your vehicle so much better as well. Manual transmissions give you a connection to your vehicle that automatic doesn\u2019t allow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #000000\">True, manual isn\u2019t for everyone, but there\u2019s something really appealing about it. And if you love to drive, like I do, then you should love to drive standard. I also think it should be mandatory for everyone to learn standard when they are learning how to drive. You might think this is a bit extreme, but hear me out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #000000\">Let\u2019s say you\u2019re stranded at a party with a friend who\u2019s had too much to drink. They were to drive you home. They have a car with a manual transmission. You can\u2019t drive stick. You need to get home or you\u2019ll turn into a pumpkin at midnight. What are you supposed to do?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #000000\">That\u2019s just one example, but learning how to drive standard is a great asset to have and something I think every driver would benefit from. It\u2019s not only a driving skill but a general lesson in cars overall. You need to understand the inner workings of your vehicle to drive manual well, and so it brings about a greater awareness of you and your vehicle \u2014 something a lot of drivers on the road today could stand to benefit from.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #000000\">Which do you prefer? Manual or automatic, and why?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know automatic is easier in the city and often less stressful, but come on!
