Cars now are virtually idiot proof....
Power steering
Lane assist
Hill hold assist
Parking sensors
Adaptive lighting
Engine management
Traction control
ABS
EBD
Parking control

If you can't drive a modern car you need putting to sleep

Yeah I take your point conor it was well made.

I think an angle no-one has looked at yet when debating this is the Ryan Giggs theory.

Argument against Manual cars:

When Giggs was in his earlier years and picking up hamstring injuries, the fact he drove a manual car was rumoured to have contirbuted to said injuries. Fecking Manual pieces of sheite

Argument against Automatic cars:

When Giggs changed to an automatic car the injuries seemed to slow down, The Automatic had made life easier on his hamstrings, so much so (with a bit og Yoga thrown in) he is still playing to this day. Fecking automatic pieces of sheite

Ive found cruise control just never really works. You cant use it properly for long enough.

the only one that does work is BMW's - you have a wheel on the indicator stalk which you roll up or down to increase/decrease speed.

Wifey has a Beemer and hers is on the steering wheel

This thread has gone too far into the depths of car specialism now.

It was better when it was manual vs. automatic.

Sweet for a RWD car... Problem with mine is it is FWD and when it's wet I can already wheelspin through 1st, 2nd and into 3rd cos it has so much torque standard...

Most people use autos in the States I think.

.................

Yes they do.

The only people who really drive manual are in the remote areas. These are known as the backward.

I went to Malta last year and I think they have a law where the cars have to be manual and I agree, that country has so many hills
