1Maybe you know some car driving differences between Americans and Europeans. Fewer Americans are learning to drive stick shifts, but Europeans prefer them. These are the reasons why. Burning out the clutch and stalling as you roll back on a hill used to be part of learning how to drive in America. But these days, fewer and fewer people are driving cars with stick shifts in the United States. According to CarMax, 96 percent of Americans drive automatics. And, unsurprisingly given that statistic, people just aren’t buying cars with manual transmissions in the United States. According to Edmunds.com, in 2018, they made up just 2 percent of all vehicles sold.
