Manual FTW.

The only time i got sick of it was 2 years ago in 6hrs of stop and go traffic during a blizzard. My leg HURT after that.

Manual = Fun, Speed, Cheaper maintenance, Keeps you focused, Faster, More modifying options, Great skill to know, Not everyone can drive one.
Only Con is in Stop & Go traffic which can get irritating.

Stick defininetly. Much more fun

[KStorms09]

Auto.
It's like the Ronco Rotisserie, "Set it and forget it!"
....and I like it that-a-way

[skittlesbsa]

stick! i love being in control and having something to do when i drive.
unfortunately my civic is an auto...

[newbie101]

waited over a year and a half passing up perfect cars with auto transmissions. Stick is the only way to go for fun and mpgs. Plus it makes you look cool. =P

[Freakboy]

95% town driving 5% toe down driving. Automatic for me (with boost)

[Running Riot]

[nvrfstenough]

My wife and mom drive auto's

[DphAmT]

i fall asleep driving an auto. it has it's ups tho.

I have a manual, the auto is pretty weak. Kinda surprised that Honda can such a smooth, fun manual, yet their auto is so blah. Doesn't even have manu-matic like my girl's Jetta. At least in that thing I can pretend I have some control. Oh well, I will drive a manual until someone can make an auto that I can't live without and can afford.

I own a 04 civic Hybrid, manual, as a daily driver. I also own a 07 S2K, which is a 6spd, I love manuals, whether its a daily commute or dropping the top on a gorgeous sunny day. The only down side to driving a manual is that when i am in the S2K with my lady i can't hold her hand, but if its one of those night we are usually in her car anyways, which is a 2010 TL. I guess there really isn't any down side to a manual, especially if you are a driving enthusiast. Manual all the way!

Nonsense, execute the lefthand shift. Gets major brownie points with the GF, since I show how much I want to hold her hand. Give no ground to the automatics of the world! Having a 4 door manual option is reason #1 I went with the Civic.

WTF are you guys talking about - holding your girfriends hands! Auto's only benefit is you dont have to try and reach around your girlfriends head to switch gears! haha holding hands

i have an auto-tran....and it is just as fast as the sticks...yea its not as sporty but it gets the job done..plus it helps to have a full exhaust sytem tho..i got 4-2-1 headers high flo cat with full cat-back exhaust...and i love the lil-extra it gives me....

[sureshot1979]

[SHOme89]
