For once someone with an MT isn't ignorant!

Anyone else find themselves constantly ignoring the convenient steering wheel controls and instead touching the stereo?! MUST..BREAK.. HABIT.

I used to be one of these "All sports cars must have manuals" guys, but then I matured and learned of situations where it's simply less practical or altogether impractical. If I drove in 40 mins of stop and go traffic every day, I could see being tired of a manual. And some folks have leg or spinal injuries that make it impossible to drive auto. And some people just plain prefer automatics. I'm not gonna hate. As long as there are manuals available for those who want them

Why? Do you always drive with BOTH hands on the wheel?

When I'm shifting to or from 1st, 3rd, or 5th gear, my finger tips are a mere two inches from the stereo controls. It's perfect. I don't need to look at the stereo to make suddle changes to audio. Other times I do use the steering wheel controls, but I find the volume button to be out of place for my left thumb.
