There's a ton of things you can do with a manual when pushing a car to its limits that simply aren't possible with an automatic, especially when on slippery terrain (mud, snow).

Damn shame.



So maybe that's good as it makes the car safer, forcing people to go slower?

And usually, you can still control the car manually even on automatic transmission.


You're not getting the point: there are situations where you will find yourself on difficult terrain and your automatic gearbox will get in the way of getting back to safety.
