Hey for everyone living in the New York area (Any of the boroughs or Long Island) what is it like driving a manual transmission everyday? I was reading it can be annoying in tight stop and go traffic? Which is usually how it is here during rush hour. I’m in Long Island if that helps anyone here. Opinions on getting one, or stick to automatic?

    I drove stick for the first 13 years of driving, starting at age 16. At age 29 I got so sick of the stop and go nature of my daily 40 mile commute from Brooklyn to Floral Park and back, that I got rid of it and got a car with an automatic (DCT) to be exact, so not a traditional auto, but no clutch pedal. Never looked back.
