Why do automatic cars have a gear stick?

These low gears are useful in slow moving traffic and when you need to make use of the engine brake, such as when driving down a steep hill.

Why are stick shifts still made?

So, why are cars with manual transmission still being manufactured? It is because they have some unique advantages over their automatic counterparts. They won't go extinct until the automatics become easier to maintain and correctly determine the gear based on the road conditions ahead.

Why does Europe use stick shift?

Europeans also prefer cars with manual transmissions because they use less fuel—an important consideration when people in Norway pay an average of $7.82 for a gallon of gas, according to Sixt.com.

Why do manual cars still exist?

Automatic gearboxes are more expensive, probably more prone to reliability problems and are less efficient in transmitting power from the engine to the wheels, hence the dominance of the manual gear stick in performance cars.
