For many car enthusiasts, the manual transmission is a crucial component of the driving experience. It allows for greater control and engagement behind the wheel, and can even improve a driver’s ability to handle their vehicle in challenging situations.
’’For over a decade, consumers have ranked MINI as the most fun to drive brand in America, which is exactly why we brought back the manual transmission…. The course is not only informative but also a fun and challenging learning experience for a new generation of MINI drivers that they will remember forever. ’’
