That's a pretty ridiculous belief. And my two personal vehicles are manuals.


I hate riding the brakes. Every light, every time you want to slow down, or are stopped...without mashing the brakes the car will move forward. It's absurd to me that there isn't a clutch mechanism that keeps the car still under say 1k rpm. I drive rentals all of the time and to me I'd rather drive a manual for a daily.

I drive in traffic and my brake lights almost never light up, everyone else...brake, accelerate, brake, accelerate...it's NOT better.

Hyperbolic statement is hyperbolic.

Yea, constantly pushing the clutch in and releasing is very different and easier.
