I always thought it seemed kind of dumb to own a manual nowadays considering how prevalent automatics are and how simple they are to drive. I had never ridden a manual but it seemed like too much work.
Well I got a motorcycle earlier this year (most are manual), and now I definitely understand the appeal of a manual vehicle. I actually get annoyed at my automatic car due to the lack of throttle response compared to my bike. It’s a lot more fun on the bike. And I have a slow as fuck bike.
But I still don’t know if I would replace my car with a manual car because it can also be nice to just chill while driving.
Most cars in the rest of the world are manual.

New ones aren’t. In fact, most new cars in Europe are electric.
So unless there’s some manual electric out there I haven’t heard of I’d say most new cars are automatic.

EVs aren’t automatic, either. They just have a single, fixed gear like those hipster bikes from a few years back.
