Some people like being in control –especially where driving is concerned and that’s why they insist on a manual transmission in their vehicles, especially those who drive sporty cars and vintage vehicles. But while it used to be known as the standard transmission, the manual or stick shift is fast becoming endangered. Future electric cars won’t have them and most drivers now prefer an automatic transmission. But manufacturers still cater to those die-hard fans, who like to enjoy the ‘real’ experience of driving, pedals and all!
