I personally just learned automatic (had a deadline for my work, less risk this way) and the only downside is people complaining that I don't have a manual license. "What if" is something you'll keep hearing from people. I tried manual and it'd require me to do quite a few extra lessons and do ANOTHER exam so I'm just not doing it.
Honestly if you can, do manual. If it stresses you out too much, do automatic. Cars will go towards automatic/electric anyways so in like 10 years it really won't matter anymore.
This really is the 1 thing stopping me from switching over now. I got a google pixel only a few months ago and don't want to have to completely reinstall everything AGAIN already. I wouldn't mind if I had 2 phones so always have a working one, but having to change everything on my 1 phone right now just feels too risky.
Understandable, most car companies have garbage software (the Yaris I drive now included). Tesla is just leagues ahead at this point and I hope VW is gonna improve a lot looking at their mockups
Personally this car would cover any drive I do except going to my parents and back (where I'd have to charge... at home here and at my parents there... so still fine really)
