To anyone wondering why some people prefer the control a stick offers over automatic, I tell them: it's like listening to Beethovens 5th over the radio vs ACTUALLY CONDUCTING the orchestra.

As someone who's never conducted an orchestra or driven a manual, this simile doesn't really help at all.

In an automatic the car decides when to shift gears and to which gear. And it also decides how softly or hard it should do this.

In a manual car you have to do all of this yourself, but that also means you decide when and how to do it.
