Everyone in my extended family drives manual transmission cars. 12 drivers, age 21-81. I have never owned an automatic (nor CVT) vehicle. Taught my daughter to use 3 pedals from the start. She hated it at first but she passed her driving test in the 6sp Vibe GT on first try and has stuck with 3 pedals to this day. She's now looking to buy her first new car and is frustrated with the lack of availability of manual options.
