Manual>>>>>>>>automatic.

A lot of people will lie. The majority, for both gender, should be no.

Save the Manuals! Official Headquarters ? Car and Driver

Like me, you may have noticed an alarming paucity of vehicles offering fully manual transmissions. Even sports-car stalwart Ferrari, of gated-shifter fame, isn’t providing a three-pedal option on the new 458 Italia. Equally distressing, I read in the Washington Post that our nation’s hard-texting youth have pronounced driving seriously lame, with only about 30 percent of 16-year-olds having acquired driving licenses as of 2008. I can’t help but think these things are related.

A lack of ethics in the zone? Blasphemy.

My first three cars were manuals. Driving around the UT campus is quite a challenge with a stick shift. You learn fast.

Good point.


Don't lie folks!

If you lie I will punch your Mother.

my company recently bought a bunch of fully automatic trucks, they're nice when sitting in traffic, but really aren't good for much else.

Fortunately, the lesson was learned, and next year's equipment purchases will bring manual transmissions back to our fleet.

Why would someone lie about not being able to drive a manual?

Nice.


Sadly I feel that manuals will be gone in 10 years or less. I always hate how on mid-sized sedans you cant get a manual with the big motor! Why no V6 accord manual? Poor form imo.

I need someone to teach me how to drive a stick shift.

Thrasher will teach you. He may or may not be clothed during the lesson. But you will learn.

The majority of my cars have been manual. The only time I'd want an automatic is if I had to sit in gridlock traffic regularly.

I always heard it called a standard transmission.

I thought it was a five speed.

I'm sure in your day, it was the standard.

Was just thinking the same thing.

It's more fun to drive a manual, but I drive about 35,000 miles a year and I think I'd set my car on fire after about a month if I was forced to shift gears manually.

Ward, I think you were a little hard on the Beaver.
