I like stick shifts. Slightly safer when driving in icy/snowy/slushy conditions, because you can downshift.
Last stick shift I had was my 2002 Camaro. Unfortunately, it was destroyed in a wreck. Have had a “thing” against wrong-way drivers on one-way streets ever since.
Exactly. I've had manual shift my whole life and I've been driving since the mid-80s. It has been so much easier for me to control speed in those conditions, especially growing up in the snowy upper Midwest.
Ummm, you can downshift in an automatic also.

My wife’s Prius V has it covered. Six years going and I like it!
What Does the B Stand For In A Prius?
Simply put, the Prius B mode stands for “braking.” This position is for shifting into a lower gear and increases the engine’s drag to help slow your vehicle down.

The Laws of Physics don’t forbid a wrong way car.
I always look both ways.
