Can you explain in more detail? I was thinking about buying manual Kia Rio (cheapest new car on the market, now no longer sold). My automatic has 1, 2, 3, 4, D, N, R, and P. Why is manual different?
Both of my cars have an infinite number of gears. Not a problem in winter at all. There is nothing about a manual that would make winter driving easier. Shouldn't make it harder either other than it's another thing to worry about. My first car was a manual. Never really an issue, although wow they suck when stuck in stop and go traffic. I doubt I will ever own a manual again. I currently have one dsCVT and one eCVT (which replaced another eCVT car about 2 weeks ago). I expect the next one at this point has a good chance of being electric and hence have no transmission at all. -- Len Sorensen
