I learned to drive in a manual and always had manuals until my current car. Kind of sad it’s going the way of the dodo - always enjoyed driving manual

I have never owned an automatic car, but I suspect that will change in the not too distant future.

Such a great car in manual

And Mazda make such great manual gearboxes too (I have an MX-5).

I had an RX8 and that car was the absolute bomb. I could never work out why it came in auto. Waste of a perfectly good amount of fun.

I think it’s awful in auto because it doesn’t have any torque.

Zilch. But in a manual... I cannot tell you how much fun I had driving it to work every day (I lived in Renmark and worked in Berri, so it was 110kph all the way). Had to hand it back because I was leasing it.
