I’m stuck on this personally. I love my manual, I have a tiny little Mazda 2 and I have driven that thing absolutely everywhere because I can control it better than any automatic I’ve ever driven. But I’ve been casually looking for a new car and I’d love to have an electric, but I don’t want to lose that level of control and everything I love about a manual.

What do you all think? What’s your take?

    The conversation is people who already know how to drive stick and their opinion on electric. People just learning to use stick aren’t relevant and nitpicking over EXACTLY how a stick works isn’t relevant when the main topic is “how does it feel compared to an electric?”. “Oh, well the clutch can actually make you go just by releasing it and you’re able to crawl” is completely irrelevant and only stated to critique and sound superior. I can crawl too in my automatic car by letting off the brake. That’s not relevant here either.
