I don’t really see the point of this. It’s just adding complexity for the sake of it. As far as I can tell when you change gear it just changes some software parameters, there are no physical gears. Yet there’s a clutch and the ability to stall?

    The way I have usually seen in the past is that, if you get an automatic license you can only drive automatic. If you get a manual transmission license you can do both. Is this not how your country works? I don’t know how this is relevant otherwise.

      It is. That’s what I was saying. Perhaps they are doing this for places that are hesitant to purchase a car that isn’t manual, because they (or their kid when getting a license) would have a limited license with an automatic.

      When we first moved here we got an automatic with low miles for super cheap, because no one wanted an automatic.
