I hope someday we'll find a way to pirated a car
(lemmy.world)
In the end, the KIA car company made its cars into subscription models, I really hate this because in the end the car we buy with our own money doesn't feel like it belongs to us. Should we finally buy an old school car ? so as not to be affected by this subscription models or is there a way to crack the software installed in it ?
What? Most people buy manuals here in Europe. And automatic are available... Tho, with the rise of electric cars, both manual and automatic get obsolete
If people were only buying manuals, there wouldn't be a push to put automatics everywhere, especially sports cars. More than 50% of cars in Europe are now automatic. Only 3% of new cars are manual. The old meets the new, and the people chose the new thing. That's usually what happens. The age of the manual transmission comes to an end.
Source? And automatic is not 'new'
My dad was driving automatic Jags back in the late 1970s, but he did work in the motor trade. I am seeing more and more automatics around but I still think manual is king (at least in the UK) for the time being. If nothing else, you can save some fuel driving an auto!
It is new in Europe.
