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?

They write multi-page articles extolling the virtues of performance in ICE cars.

EV outperform ICE in many performance metrics, especially torque. Suddenly ICE fans: “Performance doesn’t matter!”

It’s just missing that sound. There’s no doubt about, or getting around, that.
