    I would guess that there’s more demand for manuals from older people than from younger people. Younger people can’t be nostalgic about stick shifting.

      I think there’s a word for it, but essentially false nostalgia. Gen. Z absolutely has a lot of nostalgia for things people say were great despite never experiencing it themselves.

        Most of EU still drives manuals (most older models and newer floor models of VW group). I’ve been in an automatic once in my entire life.

        And how do you engine brake with an automatic, is that a thing?
