I'm stuck on this personally. I love my manual, I have a tiny little Mazda 2 and I have driven that thing absolutely everywhere because I can control it better than any automatic I've ever driven. But I've been casually looking for a new car and I'd love to have an electric, but I don't want to lose that level of control and everything I love about a manual.

What do you all think? What's your take?

Where I'm from most people drive manuals, then I moved to Aus and autos were more popular but I stuck with manuals mostly as I wasn't a fan of the clunkiness in autos. EVs are completely different to automatics, they drive so smoothly and they're great. I say that as a life-long manual driver.
