I haven’t purchased an automatic car in years. Our van and trucks are automatic but any sedan or hatch back I buy has to be a stick. Over the years I’m sure I’ve passed on some killer deals because the cars were automatics. Does this conviction of sorts make any sense to anyone else? Especially in this car market where good deals are sparse? My main reason for buying sticks is the fun factor and the reliability factor. There isn’t many out there though, mostly all automatic cars being sold. Then you have the electric car craze which makes me think eventually manual transmissions will be complete history. Do I just hop on the bandwagon or do I cling to three peddles and a gear shifter? What say you?
