I’ve been driving an automatic since I passed nearly a decade ago. In that time whenever I tell anyone I drive auto, it’s usually met with some level of derision. I think that attitude is changing, but I’m still kind of confused by it in the first place.
Why?
Speaking purely for myself, not just my countrymen, I didn’t want to learn how to drive an automatic because then I wouldn’t know how to drive a manual.
Now I’ve got years of experience with a manual I’d have no objection to owning an automatic
