Stick shift drivers - would you get an electric vehicle? - eviltoast

I’m stuck on this personally. I love my manual, I have a tiny little Mazda 2 and I have driven that thing absolutely everywhere because I can control it better than any automatic I’ve ever driven. But I’ve been casually looking for a new car and I’d love to have an electric, but I don’t want to lose that level of control and everything I love about a manual.

What do you all think? What’s your take?

    I absolutely understand this. I’ve been traveling to Vancouver, BC a lot and my god, it’s so easy to get around without a car. I’m sure it’s not the golden standard, but it’s sure great

      We occasionally zoop to Chicago on the Amtrak. Buy a 24 hour transit pass for $5 and we’re good to go for the weekend. I’m much more relaxed, it cost less than driving and parking. No worries about the car getting broken into. It’s pretty great.
