RE: Auto or Manual?
I am not going fall into a controversy over which is better manuel or auto all I can say is test drive both. And another thing you cannot compare any previous model Mustang auto to the one in the S197 there is absolutely no comparison.

it's a sports car and especially with the GT/CS package you have to get a manual but i've owned two S197s one a v6 the other my GT now and have never had a problem with either clutch nor transmission

RE: Auto or Manual?
I do lots of driving in the city, New York City that is. Nothing but traffic, it sucks. Stick is the only way to go. This is my first manual I can't imagine having just as much driving enjoyment without it.
As RICVA05 has mentioned, test drive each type and decide what is best for you.

RE: Auto or Manual?
Unless you seriously mod your car, stay away from the auto. I was VERY disapointed when I got my auto. It was a pig even with the CAI and predator.
It's a different story now.

Alright, I don't know if some of you remember ... But I made a post a few weeks ago about the Mustang GT/CS. About all I have left to decide on this car is whether I want a manual or an auto. Isn't there something wrong with the Manuals? Something electrical, can't remember what it is but I think it involves the clutch???
What do you reccomend for ALOT of city and highway driving, Auto or Manual? I will likely never take this car to the track, and will definately not mod the engine. The most I am going to do is 5% tint.
