Manual or Automatic?

[lonestar]

What type of car do you drive: manual or automatic...

I love manuals...always have.

My last two cars were automatic so I was kind of rusty with my new (used) car, but I have gotten the hang of it and have fallen back in love with driving stick.

Well, I first learned to drive on an automatic when I was 15. I learned to drive a manual when I was 18, and have driven one ever since. I've been getting tired of manuals now, so I think my next vehicle will be an automatic.

I don't know how to drive manual. Only automatic here. But there is so much traffic in the DC metro area that having a manual is just really annoying.

I have driven both. A manual is fine if you aren't driving in a lot of stop and go traffic. That gets old really fast. I drive an automatic now. Much better.

Apart from the car I learned to drive in, I've always driven a manual. It doesn't bother me at all...I don't see that it really matters in traffic, either. I'll probably always drive one...the mileage is better, the car is often less expensive than an automatic of the same model, and it's just more fun to drive.

Plus manual transmissions are easier to repair...and lighter...

automatic...I've never driven a manual and I don't really have a clue as to how they work, to be honest.

Me and manuals are currently seeing other people.

my dream car would most likely be a manual, but for now automatic......
