In detail:
It's fun! When you drive a stick, you can have a great deal of fun zipping around corners, controlling the pace and flow of your driving and feeling like you are really the driver and in control of your car.
They can be more affordable! Manual transmissions can be more affordable at purchase time. A new car might be $1,000 to $3,000 cheaper than an automatic transmission; you could also see similar benefits when you buy a used car at Toyota of Temecula.
Control! If you like to be able to automatically adjust to road conditions, consider a stick. A manual transmission can be controlled and changes can be made faster than with an automatic transmission.
Save gas. When you come to a red light, you can simply put the car in neutral and idle until the light turns green. When it's green, simply shift into first gear and take off. This can save a good deal of gas if you do it regularly.
If you've never driven a stick, don't be afraid. Get someone to teach you and then come test drive one of the great manual transmission cars available for sale at Toyota of Temecula.
