@Ford Europe, there's no text or narration on this video when watching on a TV, just music and animations. Maybe not the most effective way of getting a message across 😁
The disadvantages: Way more expensive when buying a car, way more expensive to fix, not as reliable and simple as a manual. That's all I need to know. For the Focus ST the configurator shows just selecting the auto transmission is +2700€, it also shows higher emissions right there in your configurator..
So many manufacturers' weak points are their automatic transmissions. All those reasons mentioned in the video and the only one I've heard actual people say is that auto is better for stop and go driving. People think driving manual is too hard to even learn. They want their stop and go buttons and that's it. People want to have their hands more readily available for drinks, food, phones, etc. They assume driving manual makes that more difficult.
No thanks I’m good with my 6 speed manual thanks. I don’t do a lot of start stop driving so have no need for the automatic and I’ve heard class action lawsuits are just great for business when you build a terrible gearbox
HELL NAAH SAVE MANUALS

Turn on the captions, there is a bunch of text in there. The reason may be as there are many viewers speaking different languages
Yes, the PowerShift is an amazing, fault free, automatic gear box.......... 😬

There's nothing better in driving engagement than having a manual.
