Manual vs. Automatic


My friend just bought this adorable new car, and I absolutely love it. He said it is an automatic, the first he has ever owned. We went on to discuss the European mentality towards automatic transmissions. What keeps them from embracing this technology? I am glad that we have owned a few manual transmission vehicles in the States so I am prepared to buy one here. I think the thing that scares me the most about driving here is how narrow the roads are. In the States, there’s a lot of room for error!
