* Drivers can manually upshift early to lower engine speed and save fuel.
Endurance and reliability
*Manual transmissions are generally more reliable than automatic transmissions, especially in harsh environments.
* They are less susceptible to mechanical failure and require less maintenance.
Driving pleasure
*Many driving enthusiasts prefer a manual transmission as it provides a more direct and sporty connection between the driver and the car.
*Shifting gears manually gives you a feeling of control and satisfaction.
Price
