For most new car models you still have manual transmission option here when you buy new one. And a lot of people prefer that. I also like manual, somehow I feel more in control.
I know a lot of people who say "with manual transmission I feel better and drive more effective my car"

Modern automatic transmission is definitely more efficient.

For sure, but that really takes the joy out of driving. Getting a perfect shift feels so nice!

With the newer cars, I dont know if it is really more efficient. I do know that if you tow, it is better to have so you can stay in the correct power band.

I should add that the same people say "auto transmission is better in sity traffic"

I think in the US, we dont have that option anymore. Most are auto transmissions with the option to manual shift, but with only two pedals. A true manual transmission needs 3 pedals.
