I started out driving on a standard shift 56 years ago. I’ve owned both standard and auto over the years and really don’t have a preference between one or the other. Drove a standard shift Jeep Monday for a few hours. It was a 6 speed. Other than 6 th gear being a little hard to get in to a couple of times I didn’t see it as a problem. I’m 71 and would buy a standard tomorrow if the vehicle I liked had one. A standard shift doesn’t slow my wife down one little bit either.
