      I don’t mind driving a manual. Every car I’ve owned has had a manual transmission so automatic would be a solution to a problem that I don’t have. I like driving and I don’t want the car to do the driving for me.

      I have not had a manual in many years, but I will say I would prefer to have one because, whether or not it’s actually true, I felt like I was in more control of the car and, because of that, felt safer. The peace of mind was nice.
