Automatic Or Manual

I've never driven a manual. People say they're way better, but i'm lazy. Maybe one day i'll get a cheap manual car to practice on before i buy a good one. Then i'll go racing.
 
uh, both

2 cars with auto
1 car with manual

i can't vote 🙁

i won't buy another manual though, its too much pain in bad traffic
 
I drive a manual and don't have too much trouble in traffic. I leave a buffer and roll in 1st. It works well until the people in the lane next to me think that the opening is a way to get out of the traffic quicker.... they are really smart.
 
Can drive manual, perfer manual when I in the mood to drive, got an auto cause I didn't want to deal with a manual all the time.
 
Have any trouble learning manual? Do you cringe when people ask if you can teach them how to drive manual on your car?
 
I like manual transmissions, but I was commuting 40+ miles each way to NYC every day, and I opted for an automatic.

(And, yes, it was uphill both ways) 🙂

If I had a manual, no way would I let anyone near it except maybe my mom (my dad will get lazy and drive it rough).
 
My previous cars have been:

1989 Hyundai Excel - 5-Speed Manual
1992 Volkswagen Passat - 5 Speed Manual
1995 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 - 4-Speed Automatic 🙁
2002 Volkswagen Golf TDI - 5 Speed Manual

I prefer a manual.

Did you have to drive barefoot? In the snow?

I'd like to drive a diesel with a manual. Something seems cool about shifting at like 1500rpm.

No Shiit
 
Both automatics right now :
95 Aurora
92 Vic

Had a manual 84 Merc Topaz that I gave to my brother-in-law about 2 years ago.

I guess for a commuter, I prefer auto. For a car to go cruising in, manual.

You don't need a diesel to do that, just a nice big V8 engine. 🙂
 
Currently I prefer an automatic, but the next time I get a car that I plan to modify/race, it'll be a manual.
 
I've got two cars, and so does my mom, two toytas that are manual(our daily drivers) and then two more...ford f250 and a chevy suburban for when we do stuff, camping, hauling stuff, horse trailering, which are both automatic
