Default Should I get the 06 TL AUTO OR MANUAL???

Hello I'm new to this site and i need some help!!

I thinking about buying the 06 TL and torn apart about buying the either the auto or the manual.

Can you guys give me some feedback on which is better??

If the auto isn't too bad i want to get the auto... but if not i would just get the manual.

It just seems to me that the auto will be more practical to me in the long run but if the manual is a loooooot better than i would get the manual!!!

So, is there any problems on the auto tranny?

Tell me what you think about the tranny

if you like some power then you'll be terribly disappointed with the auto TL...

i test drove it yesterday and while it was extremely smooth, i felt like i had no control over the 260hp....when i testdrove the 6spd, it was a completely different story...


it depends on what you're looking for. i was looking for a 260hp car to drive like a 260hp car.

My wife & I have a 05 TL auto. It depends on do you want to shift or let the car shift for you. Also keep in mind the manual of course is going to be a bit qiucker & you get lsd & brembo brakes standard. I've never driven the 6spd.
The auto moves out very qiuck. Either way they're both excellent
