I can't handle just driving around in an automatic, there's just nothing exciting about it. You have to wait for it to get up to revs, you have to listen to that annoying automatic noise as it changes gears. I like the nice meaty sounds of throwing a car into gear and if you **** up that gut wrenching grinding letting you know that you ****ed it all up.

I guess i can say that an automatic would be easier in traffic.... no, nevermind, I still actually really like my manual even in traffic. As for really long trips, usually the car is in 5th gear and once it's in 5th gear, there's no shifting.

I have a manual. I HATE automatics :madfawk:. As long as I'm ADHD, and need other things to do while driving, I refuse to buy a car that has an automatic. I waited a long time for Honda to make a V6 Accord Coupe with a manual trany. I was extremely disappointed when I found out the 6th gen coupe only came with an automatic. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out you could get the V6 7th gen coupe with a manual...so I had to get one
