Depends, as long as you have an automatic car for the tedious stuff a stick is great for your fun car. Before I bought my benz I only had the WRX, and getting stuck in commuter traffic was a bitch, my knee woul kill me by wednesday every week. I also did a trip to tahoe when it was snowing like hell out. I kept getting stuck behind slow ass flatlanders and my whole leg hurt SO bad by the time I got there, it wasn't even funny, granted even now if I was going to tahoe I'd take the rex over my benz, but a stick can be a BEOTCH sometimes.
