I've driven both, and I like manuals for non-rush hour driving and manuals for peak periods....for obvious reasons, of course.

Saras... car is to get me places. I'd rather have an automatic gear change for that. Keeps both my hands on the wheel.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

I prefer an automatic when doing city driving.
Manual when doing 'fun' driving (racing, which I never do ) or a drive up into the mountains.
I learned on a manual, but both cars I drive are automatics right now."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
Ben Kenobi: "That means I'm doing something right. "

So, to the people that drive, do you drive a vehicle with an automatic transmission or a manual?
Which is better? Why?
1 Automatic
2 Manual
3 I don't drive
4 I don't have a license yet
5 Other
What bothers me is the third option. Are you trying to look for possible trolls?
And fourth option. Are you looking for criminals also?
My choise was obvious: MANUAL. I just can't get the sensation of driving with automatic - it's boooring (unless it is a PASI; armored transport)I'm not a complete idiot: some parts are still missing.

I learned to drive with a manual and have always had manual veichles. It just feels right. I recently had to help teach my SO to drive a stick. Not a very pretty sight.Which side are we on? We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We are evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go. I'm surprised you didn't know that. --Saul Tigh

Aaglo - I don't drive means, I don't drive. Some people don't own cars because they take public transportation to work (get it?)
And the "I don't have a license yet" is for the younger kids on the board
25 manual to 10 auto...good choice polyI see the world through bloodshot eyes
Streets filled with blood from distant lies.

I think the real world percentages for manual transmission usage is some 89% of cars in Europe, and only 16% in the US. I think those are early 90's numbers, too. It's so f*cked up here, that Lexus introduced the IS300 (225bhp) with no stick option, and Acura doesn't even have plans for a stick-shift for it's 3.2CL type-S (260-bhp), both of which are supposed to be BMW 3-series fighters. I don't know if that means much to anybody else, but it's bleeding ridiculus to me.
I want to know, do Europeans get top-tier Mercedes-Benz's with stick shift options? I am almost certain that if you ask, Mercedes will find a manual tranny to put in any model, but do Europeans see this on any window stickers?
