Can any Euros explain why you defend this being the default option?

A clutch? It's there so Muslim terrorists can go full speed into a concert of people.

It makes the car more reliable increasing resell value. We use cars for 20+ years before scrapping, often across owners in multiple countries.

Driving an automatic transmission makes your brain smooth. In the UK (and everywhere else in Europe) automatics are a minority but make the majority of insurance claims. Driving an automatic makes you a shit driver.

Since 2021, more than half of the cars sold in France have been automatic.

How is having full control of your car a humiliation ritual?

Europeans can barely afford cars, their auto industry isn't subsidized as much as ours, and licenses are much more difficult to get. So anything to cut costs and make the shitbox more reliable so it can be sold to Ivan in Bulgaria after 20 years (like manual transmissions) is going to be popular.

>>23159027 (OP)
it's for gatekeeping women from driving, you faggot woman.

>>23159048
Why does your folding stock have an electrical outlet? And why does your car have reverse before 1st instead of after 6th?

>>23159027 (OP)
Humiliation ritual? Nah, it's an effective theft deterrent system in America.

Not really. Only 34% of registered cars in Europe are manual.

>>23159049
bitch, you try parallel parking when R is where 6 should be

>>23159053
I got real good at parallel parking years ago but then stopped doing it so now I avoid it like the plague.

>>23159051
traction control... always OFF!

>>23159049
It's not Reverse, it's Rapido. When you ride at full speed, put it on "R" for even more speed.

Bruh what.

Am I the only person who has the fetish that my face is a clutch used by a woman driver?

>>23159059
I can understand that, though I'd be a bit concerned about accidentally throwing it into reverse constantly from a park/standstill position.

>>23159061
mine has a latch you gotta pull up to get into reverse

The funniest thing at modern manual drive is it's just automatic with a selector. It's the same vibe as putting engine noises through the speakers.
Just like everything in Europe it's all performative

>>23159027 (OP)
i love my manual. had my brother tell me I'd be over it in five years, still driving her ten later. im sure by a certain age it might start hurting but till then im not trading it.

can't think of a single situation I'd rather have an automatic. even on a hill - if stalling or getting into 1st is a struggle, that's on you. so i guess i can understand it being a humiliation rituals for some

And for mine, you have to push down. It's impossible to accidentally get into reverse.

>>23159027 (OP)
Its fun to be more connected to the machine you are operating.
Feeling the mechanical parts working and understanding what they are doing is a cool threat.
I drive a 33 year old manual and a brand new company car and i enjoy my old one much more. Its just relaxing to just drive without screens and beeps everywhere. Just me, 3 pedals a speedo, dont even have a rev counter, and some good old yellow lights.

>>23159034

Europeans are very poor. They can't afford air conditioning or automatic transmissions.

you need full control over the power band if you hope to take some shitty 75HP hatchback up a small hill

>>23159087
Even autos let you have like a psuedo manual. Although I'm not sure about the new shitty ones like acura.

>>23159061
That's impossible, you have to push the entire thing down with slight force of pull up a latch with full intent to move in into the R position.

>>23159032
Without foreskin would be a much better analogy.

>>23159079
Reverse is never just a simple left and forward, that's always 1st.
I think that was your concern?

When it's depicted like >>23159048 there is always something else you have to do like pushing down on the stick or pulling a tab under the knob.
The exact procedure depends on the brand but they always make sure reverse and 1st are very distinct.

You might mix up 6th and reverse, but that's not a big issue in practice because the engine will stall if you try to drive off in 6th thinking it's reverse, and you can't even engage reverse when the car is moving so if you accidentally go from 5th to reverse you might hear some scary noises but that's it.

>>23159069
I once drove a little work van for a company I was doing a job for and the reverse gear was literally "put her in first but with just a little bit more of a push" It was the most infuriating thing ever.

>>23159094
>and you can't even engage reverse when the car is moving so if you accidentally go from 5th to reverse you might hear some scary noises but that's it.
I had a Jeep Wrangler with a 6 speed and reverse was to the right and down. There was nothing stopping you from going from 5th to reverse and it was a common issue. You couldn't actually get it into the reverse gear, but completely removing teeth from part of the mechanism was common. That was even a Daimler transmission left over from Mercedes as I recall, so there's nothing American car manufacturers can't fuck up.

>>23159027 (OP)
I honestly agree. 99% of people don't require the fine control of manual transmission. I truly think automatic transmission reduces the entry barrier and frees women's minds from technical details, hopefully towards watching where they are going more carefully.

>>23159097
>frees women's minds from technical details, hopefully towards watching where they are going more carefully.
It just lets them concentrate more on the visor mirror for their morning cosmetic routine on their commute to work.

>>23159027 (OP)
Nothing beats the smoothness of a CVT. Manual tranny's are for trannies.

>>23159097
>hopefully towards watching where they are going more carefully
This is not the case. When you don't have to pay attention, your brain goes into sleep mode. Result, American driving standards.

>>23159093
It's not even women, everyone around here thinks it's hard.

Manual cars is good actually, they give parents the perfect excuse to chastise you for releasing the clutch so fast that the car comes to a halt in the middle of the road

>>23159099
CVTs are complete shit.

The word you're looking for is "stall". If you manage to stall out on the flat more than a few times on your first day learning you have no fucking business being on the road.

>>23159027 (OP)
its rewarding if you match rev to speed and gear just by engine sound and guessing speed - its something to learn and enjoy - buttery smooth gear changes with virtually no clutch wear...

>>23159027 (OP)
I wouldn't understand. I took the break peddle(coward peddle) out of my car and replaced it with another accelerator.

>>23159102
>It's hard to take apart and it spills too much engine fluid therefore CVT's suck
He doesn't really explain why they suck except for one place where he claims that the metal band will wear out too quickly which is pure speculation.

>>23159471
Thanks for the word, anon. At least i won't embarrass myself next time when talking about cars.

>>23159029
>It makes the car more reliable increasing resell value.
Outdated opinion, automatic transmissions are far more reliable than expecting some gopnik to properly shift gears without fucking up the transmission. The only time you should ever be manually controlling gears at this point is when hauling heavy loads and since Europeans don't own shit they never have this issue.

>>23159918
Automatics are no more reliable than manuals and the autos are far more expensive to maintain and repair.
