how much traffic do you have to deal with every day? I have a auto, but only because of lots of traffic.

If you have to ask this question just go with the auto.Personally i can't stand autos buts its like choosing between blondes or brunettes.Its personal preference.

Stick is more fun, you can have more control over the car (if you can really drive it), it is potentially faster and you get better gas mileage. Automatic is better if the car is under 12 seconds, because you arent going to miss shifts or spin the tires if you shift too hard. I would go with a stick car over auto any day though.

well let me tell ya..an auto.. is much easier on the drivetrain.....with a trans-go shift kit and beefed up servo and a nice 2500 stall and a 4.10 gears your there with them and can play with your hunnies' leg while driving instead on those 5 sp guys with a hand on the wheel and 1 on thier stick so ask yourself hand on your girl's thing or your stick
I'm a total noob when it comes to this stuff, so be gentle.. what does a "trans-go shift kit, servo, and stall" do for an AOD?
