Answer 1

drove manual trans cars until I got married.
Now we have only automatics.

There are good and bad about each.

For sports cars or weekend cars I prefer manual.

For everyday driving: automatic.

Manuals do bring small 4 cylinder cars to life though.

Answer 2

I learned on a standard, took driver's ed in an automatic, drive standard for 8 years, and then bought an automatic, but I got an automatic that allows manual shifting. The VW I bought calls it TipTronic. Best of both worlds!

Answer 3

Our vehicles are older models. Mine is an '87 Chevy S-10 and my husbands is a "65 Custom C-10. We both have standard but we have driven automatics. We prefer standards.
