Why the hell is driving stick considered a mark of strength? It's not that big of a deal. I can, but where I live an automatic is simply more practical.
Remember, most Europeans drive stick.

A stick shift nowadays is an anti theft device. I love them as they make driving more fun, downshifting into a corner for example. But they are hell in traffic and don’t have the mileage benefit like they used to.

So does everyone in India. I’ve driven one for decades but those days are over. The auto-shift transmissions are the best and I have gout.

So many Europeans have now decided driving stick sucks that even BMW decided to make the M5 an automatic only car about 5-7 years back. This was only reversed when American dealers and customers demanded BMW give them a manual option. The Europeans were fine with the manual going away.
