Shes right though. For leisure and sporty driving? Go manual. But if youre doing long trips and routine stuff like just going to your job and facing traffic all day and all that shtick, its good to have auto for less hasle. But daily driving manuals (something a lot of countries still have commonly accesible) it can improve your overall driving skills and makes you more confident as a driver. Can potentially be more fuel efficient and reliable on the mechanicals if you master it.

Yes i know the joke is that shes giving the guy in the back a handjob. Im talking about driving manual cars here.
