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?

We call them manuals here. I've only had one automatic and it was awful. But it was a cheaper car than I normally drive. I prefer manuals as I have more control over the car.

Electric is very different to an automatic combustion engine. I'm absolutely fine with electric.
