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?
It depends on the car I think. I don’t live in the city but I have driven my Fiesta around in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Long Island. Having a manual can suck for sure but it’s not a big deal to me. Having a small ass car like the Fiesta makes city driving awesome. I can navigate around obstacles and parking is a breeze.
