stick. its a car thats meant to be stick. also its more fun. on the edmunds review it said it had smooth shifting too which is a plus. ill admit though, there has been a couple times when ive been tired and just didnt feel like shifting. but that was only a few times. i taught my friend a little and he was like "damnit, now im going to go have to buy a stick". but he bought an automatic w/teptronics, but thats all the 300c comes with.

 

manual FTW

 

manual rocks. cept in traffic, then it's kind of a pita.

but other than that, you get better mpg (generally), easier to maintain and fix, etc etc

 

I have an auto, and wish I would have got a manual

 

Well, OK yes you're right about that. People building all-out drag racing cars do tend to prefer auto tranny for consistency etc. Personally I think it's a crying shame to think there are 03/04 Cobras getting bastardized with auto tranny surgery [:@] it's often those same cars that also get their IRS suspension torn out to be replaced with a live axle, again for the sake of drag racing... yup a crying shame IMO
