It’s been difficult to find manual transmisssions for a couple of decades here in the US. That ship has sailed.

While most of my life I vowed my kids would learn manual, I gave up on that idea because

  • manual transmission cars are rare and disappearing
  • automatics now are more fuel efficient
  • CVT are reliable and even more efficient
  • EVs don’t shift

My kids started driving in a world of automatics and will soon be in a world with no transmissions

cvts are reliable

Now THAT'S a statement made by the utterly deranged

CVTs are good for tractors that need a wide range of torque ratios but still stay automated.

They're good for go karts and for auto manufacturers that want their product to be worthless about time you pay it off.
