Auto or manual???

[Immortality]

manual for me any day. have driven auto's and get sick of em real quick. especially when i'm touring through hilly country with short straights, lots of braking etc. with a manual i know i'm in the right gear, with the auto you either gotta shift it manually(like i do) or risk it kicking down when you don't want it to or waiting for ever when you do want it to go down a gear

i prefer auto's mainly cause im in to drag racing and they are good for when you are in bad traffic. but manuals for track cars

wouldnt manual give u the advantage over an auto in a straight line u can pick up more speed through the lower gears u would think

i will buy an auto when:

a) i begin to tow a caravan for my holidays

and

b) i want to win a drag racing championship

Manuals all the way. Autos for drag racing but manuals for fun and street.

6 Speed manual for me. My 4wd is auto. Auto is good if you just want to get through the traffic but if you want to drive it's go to be manual.

probably prefer manuals but i drive both options, auto VZ wagon, auto WRX, manual VK V8.

VZ is auto as most are but its also a company car so no choice
WRX is auto, wanted an easy daily driver with power and handling ( before i got the company car )
VK V8 is an SS so 4 spd manual, good fun.

It depends on the car .
I like manuals slightly more than autos but i think they both have ther pros and cons

stock auto vs stock manual in say a VN, yep, the manual would win. however, trick up the auto gearbox a bit and it'll be better. just due to the auto being able to change gears quicker
