Why Manual Transmissions STILL Matter in 2025

Описание: Manual transmissions are disappearing fast — but they still matter in 2025. In this video, I break down why the stick shift is far from obsolete and why enthusiast cars need to keep offering a manual option.

I cover four major reasons the manual transmission remains relevant today:

1️⃣ Simplicity & Driver Engagement
Unlike modern automatics packed with computers, a manual gearbox is fully mechanical. You control your gears, your RPMs, and your driving experience — which is why stick shifts are still the most engaging way to drive.

2️⃣ Reduced Distracted Driving
Automation has made it easier than ever for drivers to zone out. With adaptive cruise, automatic headlights, automatic wipers, and self-shifting transmissions… drivers have less to do, and distractions go up.
Manual driving forces you to stay present and connected to the road.

3️⃣ Manual Driving Is a Valuable Life Skill
Very few people today can drive a stick, which makes it a rare skill. Valet jobs, shop jobs, and automotive roles all need people who can move manual cars — and most workers can’t.

4️⃣ Theft Deterrent
Most thieves can’t drive a manual. There are countless videos of criminals breaking into cars, realizing they’re stick shifts, and abandoning the attempt. When car theft is rising everywhere, that extra protection matters.

If you love engaging driving, want to keep car culture alive, or simply believe manuals shouldn’t die off, this video is for you.

Thanks for watching — more POV drives, car commentary, and automotive takes coming soon.
