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?

I daily drive a stick and I’m honestly going to be sad the day I can no longer find a stick shift. It’s just so much more engaging to feel all of the mechanics react. I’ve ridden in a couple electrics, and while in almost every technical way, it’s better on paper, I prefer the vibration, noise, extra hand/footwork and so on of ICE and a manual transmission.
