1. Fresh Garbage Says: what do you like better?
2. DrkLce Says: Stick shift gives you more control of the car. Automatic is better for traffic jams. But now days the latest cars have 6spd auto's anyway. I personally prefer stick you using both your foot and using your clutch foot working with your shift arm. Stucks when you time it wrong and you hear that crunch noise of your gearbox.
3. mailbox1024 Says: For performance driving, definitely a stick, but for comfort and lots of stop and go, the automatic trans. there are also plenty of performance upgrades that can be done to an auto trans to make it fell firmer and harder shifts for performance driving too. A shift improver kit is the way to go if you choose this route plus it helps keep the trans cooler which extends the life of an auto trans.
good luck...
4. BrainBabe Says: I prefer a stick shift, for a number of reasons: it's more fun to drive, the gas mileage is better, you get better control is snow, and I don't mind the city driving, either!

My first car was an MG Midget, when I was 17. Now THAT was the best birthday present ever!
5. mbusa Says: Stick Shift. A lot more fun, more reliable, cheaper to repair, and less likely to fail anyway. More control of the vehicle. Just better overall.
6. juniordodgers Says: stick shift is so fun. sucks in traffic but overall cheaper to work on and funner to drive plus you can impress the ladies with your driving abilities
7. Freebound Says: I have driven both. I like automatic because I am a lazy driver.
