My dad agrees with you

But heavy city traffic often disencourages some people who would want to learn how to shift gears manually. I know how to shift gears, wouldn't mind to do so in a daily commuter if I had to get a stickshift instead of an automatic (either a traditional or a CVT), but honestly I hate the clutch pedal...
