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?
If it’s once or twice a week and not during rush hour, sure.
If you have to go through Manhattan or the BQE, especially during rush hour? You’ll rethink that manual real quick and wish you had adaptive cruise control with lane assist.
This also depends on how comfortable you are with stick. If you’ve been driving it the last ten years weekly, it should be alright. If you’re going over to a stick from an automatic… good luck!
