    The “satisfaction” is probably novelty. UK/EU, nobody thinks about it.

    I think there’s a kind of fetishisation of manual transmission in the US. Like your emergency scenario: I guess if you need to accelerate away from 30-50 feral hogs then you might welcome it.

      I’ve been driving for over 20 years, still enjoy driving manual. But some people never enjoy driving and see it as a chore, I guess you must be one of them.

      And “emergency” is just when you need acceleration now. Like for when you overtake someone or are merging on the highway.

      Also I know America bashing is popular on this website but you just came across as prejudiced and ignorant. And FYI I’m not even American.
