You guys need to stop
(lemmy.world)
Oh how I love my manual Honda Accord. Before that, had the Civic, the Geo Prism, the Chevy Nova (not the muscle car one, the wee economy car) all with manual transmission. Before that a 1960s mustang with a ridiculously hard to use 3 speed transmission, not hydraulic. Manual transmission is the one thing that makes an otherwise unremarkable car fun to drive. Even one of my kids is converted now, always wants to drive my car not the automatic.
Yes, automatic transmission is more efficient but if the clutch fails it's a $500 repair not a $5,000 repair. I'll probably never again have a gas powered car but want this one as long as I can keep it running.
These are valid criticisms but you approached this conversation in the worst way possible. If you are trying to get people on your side, this ain't it bro.

Unless you have Nascar-level skills, a modern automatic is going to be more efficient and better at successfully changing gears as needed than you are. The only reason to have a manual transmission these days is ego.
My experience with modern automatics is that they are dogshit and constantly changing gears at times that I don't need it to. Just a bit of a hill? Pull it out of overdrive. Very slightly accelerate on the highway? Put it in 2nd gear! Even really nice vehicles like the Toyota 4Runner have absolutely terrible auto transmissions. Just ruins the experience for me.

There is dual-clutch transmission which can do both
You don't need high capacity assault style sporting features on a car. Manual transmissions are sporting features. Any car with two or more sporting features is a sports car and no civilian needs to own something like that for transportation.
