Taking C2 is definitely stronger than taking C1.

Many say that getting a C1 license is better than getting a C2 license, clearly, getting a C2 license is much stronger than a C1 license. A C1 license requires you to drive a manual car and can only be purchased with a manual car because an automatic car won't work. On the other hand, a C2 license allows you to drive both manual and automatic cars, so it's clear that getting a C2 license is much better. Who says that a C2 license cannot drive a manual car? A C2 license can drive:   
1. Manual-automated transmission vehicles (MTM)
2. Can drive both manual and automated transmissions (manual-automatic)
3. Electric Vehicles without gears
