Nope, manual transmission isn't common in Ontario,, I lived in the US for a bit and everyone seemed to drive stick, but I never figured it out. I don't understand why anyone wants to drive it.
It's fun. Of course that's more true in a sporty car on a mountain road than in an SUV in city traffic.
It used to be that manuals had better fuel economy and acceleration. That changed about a decade ago.
You have more control over the cars throttle. Like using the gears to actually slow the car down rather than just using the brakes.
Edit: I'm almost 50.
