Sorry but automatics are absolutely shit unless it's a high performance car.
I don't mind all the other "fancy" features but I could never drive an automatic.
Sounds like you don't have enough experience with modern automatics to hold such a strong opinion about them then. I love a manual transmission but modern automatics are usually very good. There was a time they were less efficient and less good at shifting at the right time but those days are pretty well gone. You do still sacrifice some fine control that you almost never need and they are less fun, but let's not talk shit on them for issues that have been solved for years.
You can't generalize all the car companies like that, multiple american car companies make garbage automatic transmissions for their cars. Chrysler did too before stellantis, wouldnt be surprised if they still do.
Fair enough but personally I like being able to change gear exactly when I need it. It's a preference thing.
I have driven a fair few modern automatics. Most recently a 2023 5 series BMW, in assuming BMW have figured out a good Auto transmission?
Anyway I ride my Motorbike for fun so it's a moot point really 😅
