manual all the way! inner city driving doesnt bother me tho when i have to do it. it never gets old i loove it. automatics take away from 'the driving experience' in my opinion and they bore me. i look at it as sticks were made first and autos were the lazy mans way out LOL but if u like em better go for it. takes a special person to deal with a manual everyday i guess

I would go with the auto if I had a stick but just the opposite if I had a stick.

Definitely Stick Shift... I enjoy the pleasure of a well-executed shift with minimal wear on the equipment and the knowledge that *it_will_stay_in_that_gear until I move it.* No CAGS for me !

Plus, these newer clutches/throwouts are really light compared to the old days of non hydraulic components, when mass = strength of part.

BUT if I lived in San Fran or similar, auto all the way. (I'm not Steve,.. uh, yet).

The part you use when you drive a car; otherwise you're just pointing a car..

I grew up in Europe and 99% of the cars there are with manual transmission.

So I choose a manual transmission whenever possible.
