Imagine changing gear without feeling which gear you have/changed to.

You have now given me the nightmare of a touchscreen gear shifter.

Paddleshift ever?

It's almost like the Tesla cars where you started the engine via the touch screen.

I'd like to introduce you to the manual drive option on my 2014 Kia Soul.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Is it otherwise automatic? I never use the manual option for automagic gears.

Yeah it's normally automatic. The shifter has a +/- and I can move up or down with a little flick. The automatic transmission is otherwise annoying so sometimes I use that. Took a lot of getting used to.
