Switching to a manual finally killed my habit of "quickly replying" to a text or e-mail. Sad it took that, but I'll accept my longer lifespan now.



> habit of "quickly replying" to a text or e-mail.

Once you are on the highway and driving at 80 km/h or above, in most manual cars you are already shifted to the highest gear. In my Hyundai Matrix I am already shifted to the highest gear at 55 km/h.

Oh, and regardless which car you have, please, do not touch your mobile phone.


That's true, but most of my driving isn't highway. I think if it was, I'd be less interested in a manual as it wouldn't change much.
