In an era dominated by automatic transmissions and cutting-edge technology, the art of driving is undergoing a significant transformation. But with the popularity of automatic cars growing, the nostalgia and pure excitement of driving a car with a manual gearbox are in danger of becoming obsolete.

Automatic transmissions cannot match the level of control and engagement offered by manual transmissions. Manual gear shifting gives drivers a direct link between the engine and the wheels, allowing them to feel the subtleties of their car. The driving experience is elevated to a whole new level by the tactile feedback and the feeling of empowerment you get from perfecting the gear shift.

Porsche being a true car enthusiast brand, claimed that their flagship model, The 911 will not ditch manual until the IC Engines are completely banned.

It is our collective duty as consumers and enthusiasts to make sure that future generations can feel the pure happiness and fulfillment that comes with operating a car with a manual transmission.                         

Let us preserve this art and drive forward into the future while experiencing the sheer pleasure of the analogue era.
