I have to agree with Brill... althought i STRONGLY push stick, get what YOU like, not what I or anyone else likes... after all, it's your ride and you $$$[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Jan, I have to disagree with you on the FUN part.

Sure, when I drove my Si home it was fun. Sitting in stop and go traffic on 2nd street in Harrisburg with a stick is NOT fun.

There are times in my Si when I wish I had taken my auto 2K1... [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

if you want to mod ur car for speed get stick because if you get auto and try to race you'll get laughed at like shiet and eventually kick yourself in the nutz later on...

what a silly misconception.

My old '89 mazda 323 auto tranny is still pulling that car along just fine. my brother is driving it... and well, that car is 13 years old now... so if u plan on having your civic for 13 years then more power to ya but still... look thru any car book the auto tranny always boosts the resale value even on a 13 year old car.

oh and one other thing... manuals have a clutch which oh lets see 'die and cost a lot to fix'

its all relative man. dont go around bashing things u dont know about

it all comes down to preference. i love my auto. i have a friend who hates the idea of an auto... i prefer it. go with what you prefer man.
