I learned to drive on manuals before I got the chance to drive an automatic, and even though I prefer automatics because of my bad knees I'm sure the ability to drive a manual whenever actually needed is still a valuable asset.

Reminds me of the days when a rental car with automatic transmission in my country was uncommon.

I'm sure it might not be nearly as hard to start uphill as some underpowered econoboxes I learned to drive with. The only thing that annoys me when it comes to some American-designed trucks is the foot-activated parking brake.
