minus-squareNighed@sffa.communitylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up17·2 months agoIt’s not that I like manuals, it’s that I hate automatics randomly shifting and accelerating/slowing down randomly because of it. It might not be as big an issue in bigger engines cars though, not driven anything bigger than a 1L engine in over a decade. Looking forward to a direct drive electric car (with customisable acceleration profiles - even better!)
