Re: Manual Cars

At my work all our work vehicles are manual, and it's caused some issues with new staff, usually early 20s who have never driven anything but auto. My workplace is on top of a hill, and last year I got a phone call from one of them. He'd stalled on the hill and couldn't do a hill start. I had to grab a workmate and drive down there, and she jumped in to drive him up. He later ran off the road and nearly wrapped a work car around a tree, but suspect that was just him being a bad driver rather than the vehicle being manual.
I prefer an auto these days, but we just purchased a manual, mostly because it was the right car for the right price, and any auto options were going to be 4 speed (blergh).
