x*x

Answer 1

Manual, because I'm used to and enjoy driving with the clutch pedal and gearstick...

Answer 2

automatic.

its much easier.

i have been dricing an automatic car for about 4 years now, about 7 miles a day (because im a surgeon, and i need to attend ER), so it helps me arrive faster.

hope this helped you.

Answer 3

This is always a matter of personal preferance, manual can be more fun and provide a feeling of more power, however a manual can be a pain in the a** when driving in heavy traffic. You must consider the fact that an automatic will retain a higher re-sale value.

Answer 4

Manual, definitely.  It's more fun, it forces you to pay attention to the road more, and it gives you more control over the car.  Your gas mileage may not be any better, though, depending on how you drive....

Answer 5

Manual easier to take people at the lights plus more excerise!

Answer 6

Manual, sportier and funner driving experience.

Better gas mileage and faster acceleration and it provides more control over the car and allows for you to push it past the red line.

Answer 7

Manual. When you drive a stick shift car, you're much more in tune with your car and the road. It helps if you're a motorhead, by that I mean you understand mechanics and whats going on with your car. If you're like most people who are little more than baggage, go with the automatic.

Answer 8

Automatic--I'm a city boy.  Manual is better in the country, but I couldn't stand going back into first at every stoplight.

My new car is automatic with the ability to shift and hold it in gear, so I get the best of both worlds now.  

Answer 9

manual... coz its faster, easy maintenance, lightweight, and cheap...

Answer 10

Automatic.  I'm lazy.

Answer 11

1 car owner then auro for sure if 2 cars then 1 manual and one auto.

Answer 12

I prefer an automatic because I'm old and lazy and live where there are a lot of hills.

If I drove a sporty performance oriented car and wanted the thrill of the driving experience the only way to get that is with a manual transmission.  Other than that the automatic is the way to go.  I see no reason in the world to drive a Camry or Malibu with a stick, but a Scion tC or 3 series BMW they would have to be a manual.

Answer 13

automatic! so much easier! smother faster and easier!

plus manuals really are a hasle in stop and go traffic!

Answer 14

automatic is easier but i like the sporty 'control, power' feel of a manual.
