It’s OK. I used to be very much that guy who’d give you static, argue how wrong you are, and want to actually fight you for saying an automatic transmission is good or that manuals were outdated or unnecessary. I was the “it’s not really driving if the transmission is doing the shifting for you” or “it makes you a better or more aware driver” or “a manual is required for a deep connection with the driving experience “ guy. For 100 different reasons, I was wrong. I don’t hold a grudge against folks who still want to drive stick, but I do snicker when they make the tired old arguments I used to make. Drivers agree with me and so do manufacturers. If people wanted manuals, they’d make them. For the 7 guys on forums willing to shout it from the rooftops and die in that hill I say more power to you brother. I hear you. Unfortunately car makers don’t.I know I'll get some static from the hardcore MT guys, but there is absolutely NO reason to have a manual in this day and age, except if you just like playing with clutches and sticks, or use it for theft protection . The auto's in any modern vehicle are great, and, I think, especially the 8spd in the JL.
