Just a question for you guys that drive automatic vics. I was just wondering, why do you drive auto??

Its not to start a flame war. I have a manual tranny, but I was just wondering why you guys bought the auto. I get bored driving auto cars to quickly. I always need to fidget with something when driving.

- So did you buy your auto because your spouse can't drive stick.
- You can't drive stick.
- You know how to drive stick, just too lazy to change gears.
- You prefer spending more at the dealership for an auto over a manual. (this one's a joke)
- One hand on the wheel, one hand around the ladies.
- You got a really good deal on a used auto.

So what's your reasons for buying an auto??

I would like to know how our cars even move with auto trannys. My 01 LX and 05 EX are both so slow with the manual that I couldn't imagine them being any slower and still being street legal.

auto cuz my civic was a graduation gift from my grandparents. i was planning on going manual, i wanted to learn really bad, but my mom wouldnt let me get a manual tranny car (she and i picked it out) because 1. she didnt want me with a used MT and 2. didnt want me racing. but does it stop me? nahhh

because i like my cruise control, auto starter, and being stuck with a stick in traffic sucks. I have had sticks before and unless you have a sports car they why have em? your going to get a better trade in on a auto anyways.

I got a good deal on mine and not to mention i was desperate at the time for a good car that got great gas milage. Also i figure considering this engine is more of an economic one vs a power going manual wasn't going to do that much. Now if i had bought a car with a k20 engine in it i would have made sure it was manual.

parents basically chose the car for me cause it was their money. i had no choice...either the civic or corolla. i only got to choose the color. no way im taking the poor mans retirement car (corolla).

I don't really know how to drive a manual. I've driven one around the block a couple of times, but that doesn't count. If I had found the right car and it had had a manual trans I would have learned. Actually I'm hoping to be getting another car with a 5 speed next month.

This car was the first manual that I had. And I don't ever see myself going back to an automatic until I'm 60+ yrs. old. Driving with an auto tranny is way too boring.
