honestly, my decision to sell the volvo was based pretty heavily on the fact it was auto. Sure the milage sucked, and it had electrical gremlins, but I can't enjoy myself driving an auto.... and if I don't enjoy driving, it becomes a chore, which is totally lame.

I will never own another auto in my life if I can help it (with the possible exception of a truck, but even then, I would still prefer stick.

 

he's right

True story. :werd:

 

I was one of those suckers :wtc:

 

for now I like manual driving, in the future I probly wont care and get an automatic.

 

Got something against an auto sentra :squint:

 

Why not?

 

Aggressive driving has gotten me nowhere but 2 speeding tickets. I wouldn't mind an auto. I do mostly city/town driving anyway so its less hastle.

 

Totally depends on the way in which the transmission is programmed and whether you have any real control over shifting.

When the DC4 was in the body shop, I had two rental cars in a two-week span. The first was a brand-new 2005 Corolla and the other was a 2005 Mitsubishi Outlander XLS AWD.

The Toyota transmission drove me nuts. No matter what I did, the tranny would insist on upshifting at 3800 rpm and combined with the totally numb steering and limp suspension, I absolutely loathed that car.

When I took it back in the hope of upgrading, I was given the Mitsubishi. Th Having the abilty to actually control when the trans selected a gear made all the difference in the world. The Outlander was still underpowered and slow, but having an obedient transmission made the car bearable.

Given my experience with the Corolla, I would shy away from an automatic Sentra. If the Nissan tranny is going to second-guess you like the Toyota transmission, it will definitely bug you.
