Fully manual, with a clutch pedal. I appreciate the connection with the foot to gear, hand to lever, body in tune with the machine. Add hand-cranked windows and manual locks, and it feels honest, grounded. No distractions. Just me and the road.
The car I took my road test in was a 1974 Buick Special with a “3-on-the-tree” shifter. It wasn’t flashy, but it had character abd like the quiet strength of someone who doesn’t need to prove anything.
I prefer vehicles with less technology. Less noise, fewer systems to fail. I believe in K.I.S.S. — Keep It Simple, Stupid. For me, it’s not just about mechanics. It’s about clarity. Control. Peace.
