What do you prefer stick shift or automatic?
I like drivin my husbands GTO because it is fun. I have gotten myself to the point where I am really good. Half the time I beg him to switch cars! But I am not sure I would want it all the time. Like in traffic. I DONT want that worry.this spring were completely redoing my GT Mustang. It is getting some paintwork, exhaust work, and were thinking of putting a 5 speed in it but I am not sure.

Stick for sure0

Stick!!! My Jeep is a stick and I would't have it any other way. Sure, it sucks in slow-moving heavy traffic, but the ability to shift gears as I see fit are perfect for off road, rapid take off, or even pulling some none 4x4 work vans out of the mud (which I had to do for my husband and his coworker a week ago). Nothing like a girl driving a stick rescuing a couple of guys stuck in mud. :laugh:0

For every day, automatic, but for fun a stick0

Manual > automagical every time.0

I'm actually upset by the amount of people that DON'T know how to drive a manual...
I would not have bought my baby (09 RX-8) in an automatic.
With that said, I'm looking to buy a beater automatic for driving back and forth to work. The traffic on the way to base is awful, and my knee starts to hurt0 -
Stick at the moment. I'm lucky to only be 5 miles from work.0

Automatic - and for a weird reason.
I've broken my ankle and twisted it so many times that I can't really bend it or move it.... and so driving a stick hurts like a mofo because I have to move my foot in ways it doesn't like lol.0 -
Before I got my 2013 Mustang GT, I would have said auto. Now that I've lived with the Mustang, with the 6-Speed, for several months, I'm very glad I got the manual. It is a little bit of a pain in stop and go traffic, but the extra fun more than makes up for it. It's a much more involving experience with the manual.
A car like a Mustang GT begs for a manual. Nothing like chirping 1-2 and 2-3 getting on the highway, or down shifting into a corner, especially with a nice exhaust system.0 -
Stick, every time.0

My first vehicle was a '67 Chevy 1/2 ton pickup with a three on the tree manual transmission. I MISS the manual!! I'm thinking my next vehicle will be a 5 speed.0

stick! so much better. its really not that bad in traffic either. When i bought my car, i had to get a newer one because i wanted a stick.0

Swapping an auto tranny for a manual is a lot of labor.0

Auto's fine on any sedan or non-towing truck/suv but I'd definitely choose a stick for any kind of performance vehicle.
I had a 2006 Eclipse GT before my current family sedan and I would have rather have had that in a stick but used the fact that it was an automatic to negotiate the price down further (it was the last of that year on the lot also so I ended up paying about $23k for a $30k car.)0 -
^^ I honestly believe it is a sin to build a Corvette or a Mustang as an automatic. LOL0
-
I have an automatic but I really miss driving stick sometimes, unless I'm dealing with Boston traffic, then it sucks!0
