On a Civic or Corolla the clutch should be light enough that you won't have problems with it. Still, there's almost no mileage penalty from an automatic these days and they are a lot nicer if you get stuck in stopped traffic.Originally posted by: mariok2006
I'm also trying to decide on which transmission would be better. I'm a young guy and probably won't mind driving stick, but is there any of you that live in urban areas and wish you would've gotten auto instead of stick?
