The manual transmission is loved by those who love it because it can be shifted however we want, whenever we want. The weight of the car and the style or size have NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. We don't care.
I'd love to know how many of the manual haters/automatic professors can drive a stick with any type of advanced technique, or even drive a stick at all... |
Driving my old 2001 330i on a nice stretch of road with its manual transmission still gives me a smile every time, even after all these years. I would like to recreate this feeling on a bigger but more refined sedan.
