I joined Nasioc forum right before I bought my AT WRX in May 2003. Can’t tell you how many times we had these same threads of AT vs MT. 17 years and the arguments on both sides have not changed much. Just human nature I guess.
One thing I see from it that we can all agree on is: it’s better to have choices than not. |

My Mom, Sister, Grandmother and Great Grandmother and Wife all drove MT cars most of their lives. It's really not a big deal. Anyone can learn to drive an MT is 30 minutes with the right instructor.

And they did it without synchros, power assisted clutches, dash gear indicators and all the other aids cars have had for a couple of decades now that everybody takes for granted while whining about other nannies. My grandmother would smoke half of the millennial asses on here with her heavy old 64 Galaxie 500, 200hp 289, and three speed stick. She had a whole different version of "granny shifting" going on.
