This works well and it's not a hill I'll defend but automatic control of temperature is better when it's done well. In the UK we have a culture of driving cars with manual transmission and I've never understood it when automatic transmissions exist and are pretty good. People wanna feel like they are in control of stuff.

Not sure about the UK, but I know Germany likes manuals because they last longer when you have a lot of hills and mountains.

Well, as a kid I thought by the time I'll do my driver's license there will be no more manual transmissions around.

Turns out, automatic is just still way more expensive to buy AND, as I recently learned, crazy expensive in maintenance.

It's about 5-10% more in the UK. The maintenance on a reliable transmission is fairly minimal but any mechanical problems are almost guaranteed to be a nightmare buried under a mountain of metal. I've been spared that trauma so far but I remember test driving a used VW Passat which clunked with every shift. Thanks for the test drive, bro.

I like electric, because fuel and maintenance is so cheap
