Driving stick is fine, but I still prefer automatic. It's just more convenient.

If you made an electric conversion and used an induction motor it could still be stick! Induction motors have a narrow range of useful rmps so the transmission is still needed!

My kid is learning to drive and I wanted to rent/get ahold of a manual to teach that too, but nothing doing. You can't find one to rent and I'm not buying a whole car for a few weeks' training.

I ride a bike, idk how those weird car gears work. I guess I'll learn it soon. Manual bike riding is joy Hopefully it's same on cars.
