Stick or Automatic?

Question

Which do you prefer???

Like everything...with age I am going to automatic, still love the highway and a 5-speed though!!!!!

Answer 1

Automatic for convenience but I sure love my cars with the stick. Um-hum.

Answer 2

Automatic

Answer 3

I used to prefer stick because of the having-more-control thing. After driving an automatic for a long time, though, I learned that there are actually a set of more subtle "tricks" a driver can do to dramatically increase the degree of control in an automatic too.

I think you have to have driven for quite a while, though, because the "collection of things" a driver of an automatic can do are very varied, very subtle, and sometimes require a little extra skill in handling the car, itself,

Answer 4

I never quite became proficient at driving a stick, throw in San Francisco hills and forget it! I would go through a clutch a month. I love my automatic, all I have to concentrate on (other than driving of course) is what music to play.

Answer 5

For a sporty car I definitely prefer stick, but in stop and go traffic automatic is definitely easier to drive. I choose which of our two vehicles to drive, depending on where I'm heading out to.

Answer 6

They say automatic is for lazy people, but I have drove a stick, and I just like the automatic better.

Answer 7

Stick! I will never drive an automatic again!

Answer 8

stick. you have more control and can get the most power out of the car. With automatic your relying on what the computer thinks the car should do.

Answer 9

Stick

Answer 10

Autoshift "Slapshift":
Give the ease of an automatic but you can drop the control into a second channel and all you have to do is hit it up or down for your gear.
