manual is more fun but can be a little annoying for some people in heavy traffic...

for the record I drive a manual and I've never regretted it

Can't really drive a stick... yet so I got an auto.

Manual: -Sportier, more fun, faster IF you know how to drive
-Can be annoying in heavier traffic (Going too fast for 1st but too slow for 2nd)

Auto: -Easier, no worries in heavy traffic, more consistent ET's, one arm free to put around a lady [8D]
-Less power to the wheels, slower than a manual with a decent driver

Manual- you drive the car

Automatic- the car drives you

I am a sucker for a manual transmission. I like the degree of control in the car. The auto just feels like a bump car for me.

my entire family has had manual trans, since i can remember, so naturally ive always driven one, and i love them....but it is kinda nice to cruise in an automatic and not worry about shifting
