Rep Power: 0 this kids right....this is mostly a "tuner" website so obviously most ppl would pick manual....and in the rest world most ppl would pick auto because there are more "women, old ppl and ppl who cant drive stick and non-tuners"
but what you forgot with your great argument.... is that this thread is in a "tuner" website asking which is better auto or manual.... obviously if your performance oriented im not even gonna begin to explain why manual is better period.
but wiht the new batch of fast and furious kids nowadays modding their civics, neons and sunfires alike.... auto seems to cut it...
it's ok though, sometimes when it's really traffic i wish my car was an auto for just 10 minutes... (sshh dont tell anyone though)

Sorry for the thread resurrection, but...
I wanted a stick, purchased a stick. I can't go back to auto trans. I mean, what the heck are you supposed to do with your left foot and right hand when you're driving? Auto trans. = passive driving, IMO.

Rep Power: 0 yea i have a stick as well.....
....i don't think i'll ever have the courage to do parallel park on a steep hill
btw, what are the advantages of heel-toe?
one more thing, how long on average should a clutch last if the car was driven properly? (mileage-wise perhaps? heh...)

Rep Power: 0 I had an automatic RSX and that thing was a crime against cardom! it was painfully slow. a 16 second car. I sold it and got my 02 manual lx. I like driving that a lot more. most people think the RSX was cooler but honestly it's more important to me to drive manual than to drive something "cool." the worst part about the RSX was the disappointed look on peoples faces when they would get into my car and immediately be like "aww this ***** an auto?" that pissed me off so much i just said screw it i wanted a manual so badly anyway. I came about THIS FREAKING close to getting a manual RSX 5 speed too. Oh the things i could have done differently had i known what i know today. oh well. I'm happy now. no worries

Manual transmissions rock. Sadly the only Auto I've ever owned is my Talon, but eventually it will become a manual...
