Imagine changing gear without feeling which gear you have/changed to.

I'd like to introduce you to the manual drive option on my 2014 Kia Soul.

Is it otherwise automatic? I never use the manual option for automagic gears.

Yeah it's normally automatic. The shifter has a +/- and I can move up or down with a little flick. The automatic transmission is otherwise annoying so sometimes I use that. Took a lot of getting used to.
