Manual's the only way as far as I'm concerned. Driving an automatic gets boring fast; manuals allow for a bit more interaction, a bit more fun, and quite a bit more control.
Also, the fun tricks you can pull in manual make it worth it any day. See a cop but don't want to tip him off with your brakes? Downshift a gear or two. Same if someone's riding your ass - downshift and you'll slow down like you're braking with no warning to them and scare the hell out of 'em. And who can forget the ability to push-start your car. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

Gumby: You're still ignoring the fact that when automatic transmissions break down they're rather expensive to repair, whereas manuals are simple enough to work on.
Most cars don't have Direct-Shift Gearboxes. And I can downshift in a manual a hell of a lot faster than it takes an automatic transmission to decide whether by flooring it I mean keep going in this gear or downshift. Plus, don't go saying "hey all these old transmissions are cheap as manuals lol" while saying "brand new transmissions are the ones that are as good as manuals" in the same post. The contradictions hurt. Take our 95 Astro. Driving around 60mph is miserable because it keeps trying to figure out whether it wants 3rd or 4th. PICK ONE, DAMMIT. Most amazing jew boots

Err....no.
The danger from talking on a cell phone comes from the fact that your mind is distracted, not because of the occupied hand. Even when driving manual. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

I've tried it before. Ignoring the fact that you could, you know, DROP THE PHONE if it was a real emergency, it's perfectly easy to hold the phone in your right hand and shift gears with the phone still in your hand. I've done it.
Also, speakerphone. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
