    Stick or Automatic?

    What do you drive, a manual (stick) or automatic transmission? Which do you like/prefer better? If you can't drive, then say what your parents drive or something.

    I personally drive both an automatic and a stick, but I think driving a stick is more fun.

    Stick or Automatic?

    I only know how to drive Automatic (sadly), but my sister knows how to drive stick along with my dad. I will learn sooner or later!

    P.S Automatic on a sports car = WTF? lol

    EDIT: My choice was that stick is better. You feel the car (lol) and it gives you something to do if you want to haul ass.

    I can do both, but I'm more comfortable driving automatic.

    Stick or Automatic?

    first car was stick, it was more enjoyable but can be a pain. moved to the city and got an auto to make it easy. 6 speed CV gearbox is a huge change, can't feel gear changes at all.

    Might get a stick for my next car though

    My car has manual transmission, but obviously I can drive both types. I think I prefer stick though. It handles a lot better once you get used to it.

    I know how to do both. Stick is definitely funner to drive, but I prefer automatic most of the time since it's more convenient.

    Stick or Automatic?

    I prefer automatic simply because its easier, and I don't find manual fun as I don't race.

    I din't know what you guys might think, but a manual gearbox is the best anti-theft system in the united staes because almost everybody there drives automatic... Lol

    While automatic is a lot more comfortable, I enjoy driving stick. I feel like it establishes a stronger relationship witht my car :p

    I can do both, but since I smoke and eat when I drive I obviously prefer automatic for the convenience.

    I prefer stick, but I hate when I get into someone else's car to drive that has automatic, because I'm always reaching to shift what isn't there lol..

    Stick or Automatic?

    I own a 2003 Nissan 350z and it is a 6 speed stick. I can not even imagine driving this vehicle as an automatic. However, if I get a truck or SUV, I would much prefer an automatic due to the ease. I have driven heavy vehicle sticks and it is just not nearly as fun as a sports car.

    Stick or Automatic?

    Cars that are standards (maunal) are wayyyyyyyy more fun to me, older trucks on the other hand can be a real bitch..i had a 72 chevy it didnt have power steering and the shifting was rough.. needless to say my forearms got bigger but it was hell. Since i have moved out of dallas to a far less busy area i can appreciate standards way more.. Stop and go traffic with a standard is wayyyy too shift intensive and generally a bitch. Better MPG, better handling with a standard.. nuff said
