Why do Taxi drivers in the UK and Europe drive cars with predominantly manual gearboxes

907 views

If I was driving 8-10 hours per day I’d want an auto… I know manuals used to be cheaper and are still a little cheaper, but I’d have thought the reduced effort would be appealing.

I’d say if I was driving long hours I’d want manual. It isn’t exactly hard work and it keeps you a bit more focused on what you are doing. I’ve always found that I start to lose concentration much sooner when driving auto.
But then I learned to drive manual and didn’t even come across an automatic until I’d been driving for years.
