You know how i feel troy :p
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.

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!
