Why Are Manual Transmission Cars Becoming Increasingly Rare?
1 Answers
Manual transmission cars are becoming increasingly rare for the following reasons: 1. Lack of Convenience and Comfort: In highly congested traffic, automatic transmissions are more convenient and comfortable than manual transmissions. 2. Lack of Intelligence: The more upscale the car, the more it is positioned for the comfort of both the driver and passengers. Drivers generally believe that the more intelligent and simpler the operation, the more comfortable it is to focus on driving comfort rather than driving skills. 3. Higher Skill Requirements: Manual transmissions place higher demands on drivers, which poses a certain obstacle to the trend of increasing car popularity. 4. Limited Gear Options: From a physical construction standpoint, manual transmissions cannot have an infinite number of gears. Currently, the highest gear is 6 forward gears, while automatic continuously variable transmissions can simulate up to 8 forward gears.
