Auto is good for stop and go traffic. But it gets mad boring on longrides and nice straight highways. A stick is more 'sporty'.

If I buy a manual car, it probably won't be a dinky Civic.

auto.. which at first i regretted,

but when i think about it, my car is really heavy with 18's, huge box, amp, etc... im not really looking to race it anyway

the only downside i see is that you loose a bit of speed.. 1/4 mile times are about a second longer

but big deal, im a lazy ass.. and this makes my life easier... so i dunno

if i were to get a sporty car in the future, id probably go with a sequential manual if i had the opportunity
