(manual) The only one who mastered the skill was our younger daughter and to this day, she'd rather drive a mnual, but they are hard to find, I think. I will get a new vehicle tomorrow, a 2021 Nissan Rogue. It has CVT, but it also has tabs on the steering wheel if you want to manually shift gears 1st, 2nd, 3rd. The dealer showed me how to do it, and I can't wait to show my daughter after I get the car home. Thinking about it, the tabs are probably more like the console shifter with 1-2-D-R-P positions.
