I'm 16 and I agree about most of these things.
Sure, the automatic HVAC looks better, but is it really worth the extra money? Manual HVAC works just as good. If you're cold turn the heat up, if you're hot in the winter turn it down and in the summer you can use the AC, no AC roll down the windows for a breeze.
Steering wheel controls? Everyone knows that a real drivers' car has nothing but the horn.
Power seats? Only for lazy people. Is it really that hard to position the seat by sliding and tilting for less than a minute? Not to mention how much weight it adds with all the motors inside the seat.
As for manual transmissions... I got the theory down, too bad I don't have a car to try and practice in
I have a learners' permit (G1 for Ontario) and all I have to drive is a 2003 Camry, throttle response is pretty bad with throttle-by-wire, I prefer cable. Once I learn manual and get my own car for sure I'll be driving manual everytime.
