Disclaimer, I am not an expert on the manual topic but found this article and thought it was an interesting read.
I am someone who never learned how to drive a manual growing up, both my parents gave up on driving manuals by the time I got around. The few months I had one of my friends teach me some of the basics, and I got hooked just after an hour or so. At this point I'm going the manual route with my Bronco, between going on here, reading comments about manual and being behind the wheel of a manual learning the ropes, I'm confident in just full sending into the manual world with it replacing my current DD Escape. I thought this was a good article about the importance of a manual not just from a fun to drive aspect but from learning to be a more aware driver and how to work the vehicle you're driving, though it's a bit old of an article. I don't know if I think the road tests should be changed but I do think it would of been a benefit to me if early on I learned how to drive stick.
I'm more in line with voting with your money, if you like a particular vehicle still or in this case transmission you have to go buy it new. With the Bronco having a manual as the stock transmission on all the trims that come stock with the 2.3L, I want to get mine with a manual now and hope to see more people that say they want a manual, get a manual. I don't blame anyone for either going the auto on the two engine choices, I just hope to see a decent amount of the people that made a reservation get one.
