      stick shift is way more fun if you got a fancy sports car and like racing around ripping through the gears. nothing like the feel of 'popping' out the clutch from a dead stop to get the aderiline going...1...2...3 opps powershift down to 2..whew!!! cloose one!!

        any one can steer an auto, but do actually drive a car, you can't beat a floor shift [stick shift].

          I have both, my daily driver is a Dodge Hemi magnum, its automatic, it's more laid back and a cruiser..

          My other car is a Corvette, this is 6spd manual, to me a sportscar must be stickshift, its what its all about! Feeling the road, the car and the power transmitted through your shifts.. I would not have a sportscar without it being stick.. Now would i want a luxury daily driver without automatic..

            Automatic makes giving the strategic finger to tailgaters more safely.

              Automatic, it's easy to drive. I have driven a manual, but that's long ago.

                    Manual for gas milage and the sexy factor... But automatic for lazy, buzy mom syndrome.

                      As I am old and lazy I have automatic. In my wild and dangerous youth I drove a floor change for a very good reason, there were no automatics when I got my licence in Feb. 1949. I drove a 1930 Morris Isis Roadster. Canvass hood dicky (rumble) seat in the open at the back. 18 horsepower six cylinder 3 speed box. The motor gave one chugg every telegraph pole.

                        Good morning all! (: When I used to drive and when my kids were small I always preferred automatic....easier...plus I had an extra hand to swat the little monsters!

                          Without a question, stick ! one gets a better mileage, cheap in gas and also on brakes since you shift down when you want to slow down and it is safer. Stick all the way !

                            Stick shift because I get better mileage than an automatic.

                              Thanks Gary - checkout the new DSG, it's as economical as stick shift.

                              Being an ex truck driver and having 18 gears (well more like 13 or 14 since I could usually skip the first few) to go through, I do prefer an automatic for a personal vehicle.

                                  Automatic, that's because I live in the big city and have to deal with traffic. If I lived in a less populated area, I wouldn't mind having a second car with a stick shift, they can be fun to drive when your not dealing with traffic.
