There is definitely a market for manual PERFORMANCE cars. I don't hear anyone complaining about little cars with 1.0L engines becoming automatic in the masses. It's the automatic sports cars shoved down everyone's throat that people complain about. And having paddle shifters in high end sports cars does make sense since theoretically they can be used on a track and so reducing the time spent changing gears is important. But what on earth is the point of having a 500hp mustang as an automatic? Not even paddle shifters. Just full-on auto. There is no reason to drive anything like that. And the biggest issue is that it's beginning to look a lot like we won't even have an option at all in a few years. It seems fair to me that at least the models could be offered as both automatic and manual especially since clearly so many people want manuals. The market is anything but dying out.

[@stockwelledits3948]

@@dylanwazthere exactly my point, people who want manuals have no say in the current market for them, since they can't afford them. If the mass of consumers aren't buying the new manuals available, manufactures won't produce them. It's just the sad reality of such a fun transmission type.

[@benmackey8777]

I don't think we're going to see manuals disappear just like that. Over 80% of the cars on the road in Europe are manual, and they're still many manufacturers that offer manual transmissions like, Audi, BMW, Ford, Skoda, Seat, Aston Martin, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Toyota, Nissan, Dacia, Volkswagen, Mercedes, just to name a few. But less then 5% of new cars in North America are Manual, and the problem is that Americans are just lazy. They don't want to deal with an hour long commute, bumper to bumper, in a manual car. But us as car guys will put up with it. I have people ask me, "Why do you drive a manual car? It's just more work, and more to try to think about while driving. Why don't you just get an automatic, its easier to drive". But we don't just drive manuals because they are easier. hell, autos are now faster and more fuel efficient than ever. But we dive them for joy, for that sweet sweet feeling of rowing through the gears on a back country road. But manufacturers don't care how good that feels, they care about how much money they roll in. So if autos are what's selling in the U.S. then that's what automakers will make. And also, if everyone drove manual cars, and knew everything about cars, then there would be nothing to make us different from the norm. But at the end of the day, the real thing we should be fighting... are the electric cars

Your optimism saves my day. Hope that is true

[@samhernandez2257]

I would agree with your video that there is much joy to be had when driving a manual car, not even beginning to list the benefits of having complete control over your vehicles shift points. BUT. That being said, you have to keep in mind just because the car community (primarily referring to car enthusiasts more focused on performance) is a smaller fraction of the driving community out of the entire world of every day drivers. Being a car enthusiast and owning a manual would become more of a hobby than anything because people value time and convenience. Just because a group of car enthusiasts ask for a manual doesn’t mean they’ll give. They’re in the business to compete and make money. You can kiss your future Mustangs and Corvettes goodbye if they fail to compete with more mass desires vehicles, although I completely agree with owning a manual. It’s just the truth that has to be acknowledged.

CVT with a proper computer controlling the gear ratio is the actual greatest way to transfer the power to the wheels.

I call it bullshit i am a millenial born in 97 i have lots of friends who drive only manual cars, in fact i have only one friend who is driving a automatic car only because he dont have the left leg anymore he lost it in a car accident.

[@charmylee4163]

Only one solution. Since I'm going to college for Mechanical Engineering I shall find a way to make the manual transmission compete with autos and start my own brand.

[@AR-zq9hq]

You'd need to be a business major, not mechanical engineering major for that. Mechanically, manual gearboxes haven't changed much since 1940s.

Knob shifters are pointless. A lever is much more simple, fewer electronics. Usually a solid linkage. Even a DCT is much better.

[@MrEvan1932]

Imagine you're going to change the volume and suddenly you're reversing down a highway

[@Geo-Media]

That's what lazy ppl say, car makers are catering to lazy ppl who don't wanna shift and they want to sell more units.

[@lsswappedcessna]

@@Geo-Media What did I say that was lazy, exactly? I literally said that knob shifters were stupid and a lever shifter is better, that I'd even prefer a DCT because they require _some_ mechanical input.

You are complaining but car companies would not make automatic only for no reason, if you want to keep manuals a thing just buy a manual when you buy a new car, because a lot of you complain abou it but when the time comes to buy a brand new car you will most likely pick the automatic one.

[@Dunki113]

Or tell people not buy a new car and save their money on a used one, this is what also hurts the future of fun cars being made

[@rillxckute5000]

[@thierryreindorf8864]

I'm not even old enough to drive yet, but I will be in a year and a half. I don't want my time to come just for there to be no manuals around for me to drive. All the cars I've dreamed of owning are manual, but are turning automatic, for example the Noble M600 is a manual beast, but the new Noble is said to be automatic. Same is said for the Charger Hellcat to Demon. By the time I turn 20-25 all the cars around me will be automatic. Us car enthusiasts are living in a world that will unfortunately become a relic of the past, something that saddens me and countless others a lot.

Ive only driven manual when i was preparing for my driving test .... i hated it but its probably cuz of the car with a burnt to the ground clutch and about 100 hp ... but thats my experience with the manual untill now ... idk how a manual would feel like in a mustang or another proper sportscar but i will definitely take the oppotunity to drive a proper manual car when i can.

I think the new mazda6 signature would be a great car to have a manual transmission fitted on if it didn’t have autonomous features. They put out 250 hp and 310 lb ft on 93 octane fuel and they’re nicer to drive than other generations.

VW still offering the GTI MK8 later this year and GLI. Some GTI MK7.5's are still on sale and the ones leftover are manual

[@adelaideautowashes]

I think it may be because there's almost no demand for manuals, as most people prefer automatics and don't want the hassle of a manual. It's also because electric cars (which are the future) have no transmissions.

Driving stick in traffic sucks but imma keep driving stick cause I probably won’t be able to in 25 years

_ I received my chauffer's licence (highest class at the time) in 1963 and you had to pass the test at over 80% driving a standard transmission car. Since then I have owned 5 Manual Transmission cars and 6 Automatic Transmission cars. The automatic turned out to be much more practical and convenient as I and my family aged . _ Nowadays, I would not even consider a manual transmission. _ Yes: the manual transmission cars will disappear - EVOLUTION - and survival of the fittest.
