Which do you prefer and why? Trying to decide which to get.

 

IMO id go with a Manual...They are fun to drive an they are a little bit quicker.

 

It just seems like it would be a pain driving in an area with a lot of speed bumps and stopsigns. (my neighborhood)

 

If you have to ask get an automatic. For us manual guys there is no question.

 

manual or go home

 

+1 on that

 

Manual. The connection with the car as people call it is unmatched. With an automatic, you don't know exactly when it will shift (unless modified I suppose) and it can't be trusted, lol. A lot of them are slow to shift, but have gotten better. I can slam gears pretty quick, so whatever. I was reading how a guy with a Monte Carlo SS swap had an auto for the track and a manual for the street. Why, I'm not sure, but I'm assuming launches for one thing are a hell of a lot easier on the transmission and just easier overall. But a manual is just so much fun. I couldn't imagine driving an automatic sports car daily. I have a lot of speedbumps and am in stop and go traffic daily, and it doesn't bother me.

 

I would prefer a manual, because I love shifting gears. However, I have an auto because that was what was available when I bought.

Plus, I am getting a little older, and the legs get stiff on longer drives, so not having to shift is pretty nice at times.

 

some times i really want to try a stalled auto.

that is the only redeeming quality in my eyes

 

auto is the way to go.
