Drove my dads 89 chevy duely and the clutch was stiffer than a log...everytime i got out of thing i was worn out....its autos for me bc of that

 

Try cars man, much easier. More like a semi stiff branch lol

 

Can you tell my 96 mustang that.

 

Ok fine, most newer cars. Happy now?

 

I went with the auto for a number of reasons. First, it's not made in China and doesn't have reliability issues. Second, it's faster, although I like the control of a manual. Third, I'm not an accomplished manual driver and my wife has never driven a manual so she couldn't drive the car. (Wait...maybe that second part is plus.) Finally, I'm in the Los Angeles area so traffic is omnipresent. Ideally, I'd like a SMG or at least a paddleshift automatic transmission.

 

Grow some leg muscles! Wimp

 

And you think the parts in your auto are all American made?

 

No, but the Chinese manual is the transmission that is having all the issues, not the automatic.

 

Some are having issues... 99% are issue free... same with all American trannys too.

 

Yea not all trannys that come from China were defective. Just a certain batch made during one cycle. And all were repaired under warranty and now have no issues. Yes automatics hvnt been having this problem but with the majority of manuals being good to go it doesnt really justify the choice for auto on that reason alone

 

its a german trans made in china. I am pretty sure the auto is mostly built in china as well. The auto has had problems also.. do a forum search.

 

auto isnt built in china, assembled in US, alot of Korean parts from a quick google search...

 

I could not read threw all of what was posted. For me a Manual makes you feel more part of the car. In a auto all you are doing is pressing a pedal and steering. to me that's not driving. For my wife's car def auto but even for a daily I like the stick. a closing comment: I saw people state that for a daily car go auto, To that I say if its a car that I will spend the majority of time in I want that to be the car that i have a blast in.. Life is short!!

 

I shift my auto as much as some people shift their manual its always in the gear I want it to be in

 

Selectshift?

 

This mustang I'm getting now is going to be stick, my first sports car and my first manual. I learnt to drive stick in a 2012 tucson and it was like a little stiff, not broken in. Then I drove a 98 suzuki sidekick and that was both fun and easy, the clutch was light and everything, plus cars "feel" faster when they're stick.

Long story short, stick for me.

 

What's a stick?

 

You know it's slang for manual. If not, then I'm sorry.

 

why?

 

Why not
