I have no idea what you guys are talking about I drove an auto civic ex four door yesterday

and my manual ex coupe > auto.

My sister has the auto, and its almost new. Mine has a lot more mileage. Anyhow the darn thing wouldn't move, there is a big diff between my manual ex coupe and her auto ex sedan. So for all you guys that are saying there's no performance diff, your either on drugs, or you never drove a manual. even the darn suspension felt a lot diff, I got a 2k2, she's got a 2k4.

WTF!

I siad that a while ago... my gf has an '04 auto. The only thing really agreed on this post is that a built auto can be better in an striaght line. I have yet to see a civic with what I consider a to be a built auto though. plenty of camaro's with built auto's but not civic's.

Let's face it; your average Civic-driving family guy is not going to be joining a forum like this to learn about and share all the info and trends that are happening in the Honda car scene. These make up the majority of Civic owners. We need to count every vote!

Your close, but the number one car that females buy is the civic, and buy far more females drive civic then men, at least by me.

I have owned many of both Auto and 5 spd. I prefer the 5 spd over the auto. If you live in a big city i could see it getting to be a pain with a stick, but i live in a small town and dont have that problem.

The manual is definitely much more fun when you get pissed off...and in general, the manual transmission gives you more from the driving experience. I say manual, all the way!

My first car was a manual, took me one day to learn and didn't grind a gear for almost 3 months (I started getting lazy and not putting the clutch in all the way)

Manual vs Auto

Hey everyone, just bought my new Civic (see sig.) and this is my first post here. I have only owned manuals ('94 Civic, '93 Integra, '95 Civic) and this one is no different. I personally can't stand driving an auto. I'll be shifting till my left leg doesn't work anymore.

wish i had gotten a 5sp. i was too....but they had this little white coupe called an HX? with a CVT....i test drove it just to see the difference? i liked the way it felt. so i got it i rearly run anyone in my city....but one time this guy in an Lx was talking mad **** about my car..so i ran him and ended up getting him by about 1/2 a car. But in the end i would still want to have an Ex 5sp.

I recently purchased 2001 coupe which is an automatic. The traffic out here is too crazy for me to get a manual car, and I am also lazy. Lets see if i'll get bored of having an automatic transmission and want a manual instead.
