Some people are reconsidering the preference for manual transmissions as they get older and feel they should be reserved for special situations like sporty cars or off-roaders.
Not all manual transmissions are considered good, and preferences may vary for different types of vehicles like sport sedans, work trucks, or daily drivers like the Camry.
The debate continues on whether manuals should be phased out entirely in favor of automatic transmissions with paddle shifters, especially with advancements in automatic transmission technology.
The discussion about manual vs. automatic transmissions remains open for car enthusiasts, with varying opinions on their desirability moving into the future.
