I have to drive in traffic all the time, stop and go, up and down hills... It's all worth it for those days when I can play road racer on our back roads containing many turns.

Between my fiance and I, we have a 97 auto CX hatch and 04 manual EX coupe. After having one automatic car at 16 (especially after learning how to drive manual in driver's ed), I swore I would never buy another again ...however, I paid LESS for my hatch 3 years ago than some people are paying today, so it was definetely worth the boredom!
At 103 whopping horsepower when I am more used to near 300 rwhp, I could really care less if I am driving a manual or auto. However, with the 127 VTEC engine on our EX coupe, it is actually a very fun car to draw out the revs! Definetely glad we opted for the manual in that car...it was very disappointing to see how hard it was to even track down a 5 speed EX coupe! Every single one, except the one we purchased, was an automatic! Manual trannys definetely seem to be a dying breed.

That is very unfortunate. Everyone should at least KNOW how to drive a manual, even if they do not opt to do so daily. Women especially! They do not know what they are missing

manuals aint fun where im from
reasons:
there are no long straight roads (interstates and highways are always traffic-y), everybody drives like sh*t and extremely slow, waaaaaaay too many grannys out there, stop-go-stop-go
No long straight roads? I-10 Man! And don't even get me started on all the fun places on the westbank. As far as the granny's, I remember all of that, I just started driving at different times like 3am and such
