Remember when it was cooler to drive a stick shift? We’re kind of old school and still think a manual transmission should be the only way to drive certain exotic vehicles (does Porsche even make a car with an automatic transmission?), but gone are the days where there’s any modicum of cool in operating a stick shift on a basic station wagon. Driving stick has become a lost art now a couple of decades into the 2000s, but the hassle to pop a clutch while weaving your way around a maze of gears is simply not worth the effort most of the time anymore.
