US, 37, been driving a manual since I was 16.

Here in Italy we only drive manual

Yes, I even have a class A CDL. However, I don’t do it much so I’m not the greatest in a big truck and am competent in a regular vehicle

I drive a manual transmission to work every day. [20, US]

I drive whichever vehicle doesn't get my data harvested.

30, german, yes I can, no I do not. I drive a hybrid, so no manual transmission.

I can operate manual gear shifters in other contexts (namely bikes), but I've never driven a car with one.

Yes! I'm in my early 20s, and bought a manual transmission car just 2 weeks ago. It was also my first time driving alone, so it has been quite stressful

Yes, Italy, 36 (since I'm 18).

US, 36, and I've only ever owned manual vehicles. I think I've drove automatic maybe 5 times in the past 20 years I've had my license.

42 Aus and this is a great way to get age and location details on accounts

Yes. German. When I learned to drive, it was mandatory to do so on a stick.

My daily is an automatic but my old Magirus-Deutz is a special kind of manual. I’m 37 from Germany.

Yes. I'm from Wisconsin, USA and bought my first manual car (2018 Focus ST) in 2021. I'm 29 years old and was 27 when I bought the car.

I'm actually about to sell that car but replace it with another manual car. My other car is an (automatic) 2020 Supra.

Yes, had to learn when I moved to Europe.

EU and I most definitely can (that may not be surprising). But funnily enough, I bought my first car a few months ago (I drove family cars only before - all manuals) and that one is the volume knob automat. I wanted to stick with manual (pun intended), but my fiancee convinced me and I have to agree that there's a certain comfort in automat.

Yes. Mid 40s UK. I have never owned an automatic vehicle, and it looks like there's not much in the way options when it comes to electric cars with manual transmissions.

Mid-30s. Yes. I used to daily drive a manual when I was in college, but I haven't touched one in like 10 years so I'd probably be pretty rusty.

Canada, 36M, can and do.

I learned manual on a car with a fucked up transmission.

German, just 18, and I drive a manual.

Not learning manual would mean extra courses in order to be allowed to even make the license to drive larger trailers or trucks.

Also, manuals are cheaper, or actually, automatics are probably newer and therefore more expensive.

Yes Dominic Toretto taught me

Yes, but I don't because I've lived in Korea for the past twenty years, and you need a special license to drive manual here. I'm in my forties. From Canada.

Drove a manual for 15 years before I got a more family friendly car.

USA, late 20s, I've driven manual for almost a decade and have had a bunch of stick shift cars.

Yes, Europe.

Yep, I'm in Sweden, 30 and both know how to and do drive a manual car.

No, but I also don't have a drivers license.

Does shifting on my bike count?

I can, older than you.

Yes, I even passed my driver's test in a manual while needing to do a 3 point turn on a hill. I am almost 30, born and raised in the suburbs of New York.

I haven't driven manual in years, ever since that car fell victim to black ice and a guard rail, but I have done recent test drives of manuals without stalling, so I guess it is something you never forget once you know how.

Don't answer these. They're attempts at pinning ur account with a specific demographic and or phishing attempts.

Yes, 30s, USA (Midwest)

My first car I got when I was 16 was a manual transmission so I learned on that.

Yes, 47, Georgia, USA. I've only ever bought manual transmission cars for my personal use. I just think they're neat!

US, 30s, Can (don't)

Can drive manual, 30s, USA.
I had a particularly bad automatic transmission in my first car and went with a manual shortly after.
