    Not a fan of all of these fake features being added to modern cars. Fake air vents, fake tailpipes, fake engine noise being piped into the cabin, fake transmission shifts, it all seems so pointless and a waste of engineering effort.

    I live in a country where manual transmission is the default. I drive a manual and I’m fine with it. This idea of fake manual transmission is bizarre to me. Who is it for? Car enthusiasts will know it’s fake and avoid it and surely your average driver will not care and would actually appreciate the simplicity of automatic transmission.
