|  | The older I get, the better I was. | | Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Pasadena, CA | | | I voted "manual" becuase that's what I would prefer to drive - if that stick is attached to something fun to drive.
However, in my daily driving an automatic transmission makes more sense, so that's what I've had for my past 3 cars. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Fort Collins, Colorado | | | You are never truly in control of a vehicle unless it's a manual transmission. I've always driven manuals by preference, including my 1958 Fiat roadster, '66 GTO, '81 Citation X-Model, '77 Monza Spyder, and my '71, '76, '82 and 1983 Datsun Z-cars. My wife loves her '94 BMW 325i 5-speed, just as she loved her Audi 90 Quattro 5-speed before that.
That said, there are purposes for which an automatic is a better choice. Two examples are police/emergency vehicles, and mini-vans in which you're transporting the family.

HOWEVER, on the other hand, suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome, my daily driver needs to be an auto. Any additional vehicles will be stick.

| Thats gotta be hard I agree,but it sounds like Jersey seems to have a "traffic" to drive in. Quote: |

| In the long run,this led people to carry guns and shoot others with the sound of a horn,driving people mad.(I don't think It'd change if everyone drowe automatic though)
We no longer argue people in the traffic,you can be shot any time.Even Iraq is safer then Istanbul traffic.

Manual is just comfortable enough for me that it's easier to drive that way than in an automatic. Not shifting distracts me.
