Stick shift drivers - would you get an electric vehicle? (lemmy.world)

I'm stuck on this personally. I love my manual, I have a tiny little Mazda 2 and I have driven that thing absolutely everywhere because I can control it better than any automatic I've ever driven. But I've been casually looking for a new car and I'd love to have an electric, but I don't want to lose that level of control and everything I love about a manual.

What do you all think? What's your take?

Na more like 35k for a 2022.

But you just moved the goalpost from 40k to 12k 🤔

I was being extremely generous with my budget to attempt to include at least one electric. I'm not honestly in the market for any car that costs more than $15k.

Though I'd add that the Polestars I've seen look a lot like CUVs to me.
