Manual transmission
I grew up with stick shift cars. That's all my parents had. Yeah, drivers ed was automatic, but I had to learn to use a clutch at home. I didn't get my first car until I was 26, and that and all the cars we've owned have been stick shifts. Rebecca learned on stick shifts, of course, and her Honda is a stick. Turns out, there's enough of us out there that Toyota wants to market their EVs to us: "Toyota’s latest engineering feat is an electric vehicle that behaves as if it has a stick shift, complete with revving sounds and faux gear shifts. "Engineers who worked on the vehicle system said they wanted to preserve a driving experience that is appreciated by some car enthusiasts and older drivers—and might otherwise die out in the shift to EVs." As Kevin Drum notes, ". . . if Toyota's EV accelerates from 0-60 in 4 seconds, like a lot of EVs, even experienced stick shift drivers will have to be pretty fast on the clutch." https://www.wsj.com/art...
