You know how i feel troy 
And all my cars are manual.
So much more fun, autos can get damn boring.
Only auto i would have is if i had some intense street/strip car with a hell worked auto.

I was nearly 8 months pregnant with Billee and Cody was 16 months old, I needed my lic ASAP so at the time, Auto it was.
I can drive a manual, but I keep getting told I should be a rally driver, so perhaps I should stick with the auto

Manual, more fun, more control, just a lot nicer. THOUGH occasionly I would prefer to be driving manual, when on long trips going through heavy traffic, especially stop go traffic.

Manual for me, main reason is, its alot more fun to drive, and you fell like your actually driving and got more control over the car and autos is so boring to drive.....

I like driving, i always drive when we go anywhere even if someone else offers to drive, and for me manual makes it all the better. It also offers much better compression braking for coming down mountains too, which is most days of the week for me. The only time i wish i had an auto is in traffic when i go to sydney and the old heavy duty clutch get a bit heavy.

Funny how the pole says that we vote manual as 90%

Ill have manual thanks.
The commy auto box is like sticking a paddle pop stick in some icecream while letting the engine mush it all up!

Think i prefer an auto (a strong one - not my old trimatic) for the sheer lazy factor. After a hard days work with the roads i travel there is lots of annoying shifting and i think it gives me the opportunity to get more annoyed at other drivers rather than just bite the bullet and drive.
Manual is more fun though and i find it more worthwhile in the smaller cars in terms of squeezing that tiny bit more power and control out of them.

I think people who vote manual have never truly driven a good auto car. Give me my auto any day of the work, bit of work on the shift points, higher line pressure and say buh bye manuals.

in the past 35 years...all MY cars have been manuals
and all but one co car ( a hand me down piece of s*H*i*T*E F#*D)
have been manuals ( my current is an SS ..6 speed manual)
If God wanted us to drive autos...we would have been born with one leg
cheers
