My daily driver is a bit of an anachronism...it has most of the modern features(other than drum brakes in the back,) even has some other stuff like the lane departure warning(I turn that off.) My favorite modern feature on it is the adaptive cruise control...but it has a manual transmission. I'm not saying manuals are better, I fully acknowledge that automatics are probably better in most situations, but I'll never willingly choose an automatic, if a manual version is available.
