Stick Shift or Automatic ?

[peacocky]

I only drive a manual. I've only ever owned a manual. Same with my hubby, only a manual. There will be no automatics in our household.....unless the car we chose does not have a manual tranny as an option.

My Firebird is auto. Here it's easier to drive automatic...way too much stop and go. Our BMW was stick but it was a pleasure to drive.

Stick is all I will ever care for. Automatic takes so much fun from the whole driving experience, shifting the gears manually just gives me the feeling to be more in "control".

Would have said exactly that. It's so much more fun to drive, especially really, really fast.

Automatic, although I think it would have been neat to learn to drive stick.

I've always drove automatic cars. I had a bit of a learning curve when I started riding a motorcycle. Both hands and both feet are doing something. A lot to remember and coordinate in the beginning until you get used to it. I stalled the bike quite a few times.

Learned stick, drive stick. It generally costs more to get an automatic over here - I've only been in an automatic in the US. I'd love to drive an auto sometime, but I love that in a stick I can hold off the upshift til the last second before the revs redline and really make the engine roar.

Automatic & my baby's teaching me stick. I've been doing pretty good! I'll probably prefer automatic in the future, but stick seems more fun.

ack...i've got a mental block...can't drive a stick. never could...and the way the traffic is in atlanta...thank god!

I drive stick, and always will, its so much more fun!

 

[Accessory Obsessory]

I have always had an automatic, and my boyfriends/husband (s!), have only ever had stick, so if I wanted to drive their sportscars I've had to learn stick.
Remember ladies, if you can't find 'em, grind 'em!
Just kiddin' Vlad!

Automatic, but I want to learn stick one day.

I've been driving a stick for a couple years now and I don't think I'd ever go back to an auto. A stick is just so much more fun! The only think that sucks about it is being stuck in traffic, but that doesn't happen to me too often.

 

[peacocky]

Sticks aren't that hard. I've taught both of my sisters, my best friend, and my cousin. I can shift, eat, and talk on my cell all at the same time.

My car is an automatic and my husband's car is a stick. I can drive both; I don't really have a preference. I will drive whichever car is in the driveway. The only thing is that my husband has an Evo and it has a lot of power, I can't drive it wearing heels.
