Cars: Manual or Automatic transmission?
JoyousLemons:
I've never seen a manual transmission car before and I don't see any point in wanting one

In the good ole US, you dont need to worry about any of that. If you can drive an auto, you're allowed to drive any car.

I think you guys can drive at a younger age than us too. Think it’s 17 here.. well it was when I was 17 lol

Depends on the state. Some places you can drive as young as 14. Other places you gotta wait til 16 or 17.

NaturistBeez:
Have owned both, learned in a manual car (also had no power steering so 3 point turns were great craic). I think manual is preferred here for the most part because our roads are quite small, so most people would gravitate towards something smaller. Lower powered engines typically don't do too tell with automatic or CVT setups.
Of the cars I've owned, 10 have been manual, 1 automatic. My preference would be for an automatic purely for traffic, honestly, but they're a bit thin on the ground here as I said unless you want a luxury or executive car.
