It is uncommon, but I know more people. I'm not proud of it, but not ashamed either. I drive cars because it's practical, not because I'm a huge fan of driving.
Automatic transmission cars are relatively expensive here (which sucks, as cars themselves are expensive in general anyway, thanks to special Dutch taxes) and only now they are getting more and more popular. Not so strange with all the traffic jams in the country. Even some die-hard "I'll never drive an automatic" are now silently switching, not in the least place because of cars like Tesla, of course.

Thanks for this update. I saw one Dutch site speculating that the second car may be a hatchback. Hope more info and photos will leak soon!
I hope they can give their Renault cars some nice Dynamic Shield front (like their 2019 Mirage/2020 Space Star), I really love that design personally.
Neat, so I'd need a special license to drive my pickup truck(3600kg) over there!
Mitsubishi's warranty in Canada and the Us(I believe) is 10 year/160,000km for the power train. Most other mfg in Canada only offer 5year/100,000km if that.
I'm lazy and have a metal rod and screws in my left leg so I'm fine with an automatic. Especially in traffic. I have manual in my truck which is becoming more rare over here. The truck sits and rusts in the driveway for the most part and really only gets used to tow our pointlessly heavy holiday trailer.

Belated welcome, Vincent!
Glad you're enjoying your Space Star so much.
I WISH our driving tests were as comprehensive as they are in some European countries!
That's a common sentiment here as well. This car is positioned in North America as a budget, entry level runabout. When you buy the top model with all the options, it's too much money -- the same price as some arguably better cars.My dealer admitted they didn't sell a lot of Instyle (top level), in fact I had the idea his own personal opinion was that it was too expensive.
