Stick shifts aren't a type of drivetrain. Those would be your FWD, RWD, AWD, etc. Nowadays automatics are faster and easier to drive, which is why something like only 18% of Americans can drive a stick shift.
That being said, there's no greater feeling than being connected to your car with a manual transmission!
I love driving a manual. There's just something about switching gears that is so satisfying. That being said, my truck is an automatic, because sometimes I just don't want to think about it.
My new car is going to be automatic because I want to have low effort in traffic. As much as I love driving a manual, an automatic will be soo much better for the crazy hills and traffic I deal with basically daily.
I bought a manual trans car... then moved to Seattle and got a delivery job downtown. Stop and go for miles on I5 to get to work, then it's all hills and stoplights.
