And where are you from? And how old? Not “do you” but just if you know how.

I’m in the US, mid 30s and can (and do) drive a manual transmission.

    Late 20s Israeli. Can and do, though overall manuals are in a steep decline.
    I think most people here still drive them as learners though - mainly to have more variety when renting a car abroad.

    Nope, manual transmission isn’t common in Ontario, I lived in the US for a bit and everyone seemed to drive stick, but I never figured it out. I don’t understand why anyone wants to drive it.

    35, American, can only drive automatic but have been trying to learn manual. My barrier is never having a car available to me to practice on. 🙃

    Yes. I’m in my mid 40’s, in the Midwest US. I drove manuals almost exclusively from when I was a teen until last year, when I bought an EV.

    I’m 40 and have never used a manual transmission, and have no desire at all to ever use one.

    Majority of people do in Europe.

    Because it is better to also know how to drive manual, than to only know how to drive automatic.

    I can drive manual, but I hate it. I don’t want to worry about releasing the clutch just right to avoid jerk, so I bought an electric car. Certainly was expensive, but it’s infinitely more smooth than a manual transmission could ever be. 23 year old, living in Germany.
