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 just did this. Been driving manual in my personal car for 30 years. Someone crashed into my car and totalled it, and I took the opportunity to go electric. I won’t go back.

    Electric has far, far more control because it’s controlling the motor millisecond to millisecond, and not trying to reign in explosions.

    So quiet. So efficient. No loss of power. And now I’m saving $2k/year in fuel costs.
