Manual Transmission

A very fun way to drive any car. It requires a bit of skill to drive as it requires you to shift from gear to gear and use a clutch pedal at the same time. It allows the driver to be in full control of the car and become more focused on your driving and the terrain, which is appealing to car enthusiasts. Learning how to drive stick takes practice, and you may stall the engine a few times at first. After a while, it becomes an extension of you hand to the point where you are automatically shifting gears without much thought.

A manual transmission will also give you better gas mileage compared to an automatic, assuming you drive diligently and not mash your right foot to the floor all the time. Shifting through the gears when accelerating from a stop can give you a rush of adrenaline and it is up to you to dictate whether to drive for economy or performance.

A manual transmission is also more durable than an automatic since the only thing that really wears out is the clutch, which isn't very expensive to fix. When an automatic breaks down, it can cost thousands to repair. That's why a lot of commercial trucks have manual transmissions.

Sadly, the manual transmission is getting more scarce in modern cars, most not even offering a manual transmission at all. It is a chore in heavy traffic as you have to shift constantly. That being said, driving stick isn't for everyone. It is still a good skill to learn and it can be very enjoyable to drive a car with a manual transmission.
"I used to have a 1994 Toyota Pickup with a 5-speed manual transmission and it was pretty fun to drive. It was just me, the car, and the road, with no electronic garbage in between us."
