Stick shift drivers - would you get an electric vehicle? (lemmy.world)

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?

This doesn't super matter, but I do wanna reply that I ended up getting a Honda Civic hybrid and it's been such a blast to drive. I appreciate your help in this!

Replying to a year old post? That's commitment! You're welcome, glad you're enjoying it.

Meanwhile, things have changed somewhat since my post and there are more "small" options available now. The Abarth 500e looks wicked fun and the incoming VW Polo is previewing well.

That said, my buddy swears by his Civic, you've made a good choice.
