not at all surprising- manuals are by far the minority.

A bit sad that the manual gearbox is becoming a security device.

If thieves were smart, they wouldn't be thieves.

In the USA automatic gearboxes are so prevalent that a manual gearbox is one of the best anti theft devices you can fit.

It's funny how what you started with is your default.
I've always been a Car Nut so I don't count, but both my kids were taught on a Manual and then bought cheap manual cars when they went to Uni.
When they bought the next car themselves - Manuals!
Neither is remotely interested in cars (I achieved my goal) but they are both very committed to Manual vehicles.
