My husband and I went to car dealership last weekend.
My husband has a stick-shift car and sometimes I drive it. But I don’t like a stick-shift car.
I ask him to change it to automatic car for a long time.
I told him many reasons that I want to change.
For example, it is tough to drive a stick-shift car when the street is very busy, etc. But he thinks changing shift is fun.
Finally, he changes his mind.
Now, in Japan, more people drive automatic car than a stick-shift car.
Even there is a driving license to be able to drive only the automatic car.
Hybrid car like Prius is very popular now.
Which is popular a stick-shift car or an automatic car in your country?

It's tough to say.
I know quite a few people that like racing and sports type cars, and usually people who like those types of cars prefer stick-shifts (manuals), but I'd say most average people would prefer an automatic.
Is it more natural to say "manuals" than "stick-shifts"?
We say manuals in Japanese, too.
A few people prefer manuals...
It sounds like a same situation in your country and Japan.
