Nope, manual transmission isn't common in Ontario,, I lived in the US for a bit and everyone seemed to drive stick, but I never figured it out. I don't understand why anyone wants to drive it.
You have more control over the cars throttle. Like using the gears to actually slow the car down rather than just using the brakes.
It's fun. Of course that's more true in a sporty car on a mountain road than in an SUV in city traffic.
It used to be that manuals had better fuel economy and acceleration. That changed about a decade ago.
Edit: I'm almost 50.
