I like it better, I feel more at one with the car. Both mine and my wife's car are stickshift. Also, if your battery goes dead you can push it...

Manual transmission is a requisite when I buy vehicles.

Sticks are for pansies, the really macho guys drive an old Ladas with the battery removed and hand crank it.

Try that at -20C with heavy oil and decent engine compression after it sat over night unplugged.Last edited by BobH; 09-03-2012 at 02:39 AM.

Well - I think I'll be buying the cheapest new car out there to get me through the next couple of years... it has hand cranked windows (can you believe it? I didn't think they still made those), does that count?Sticks are for pansies, the really macho guys drive an old Ladas with the battery removed and hand crank it.

I drive both, but I love driving a stick. You have more control over the car in my opinion.

They come in stick, I test-drove a couple while shopping for a small p/u. Drove an automatic as a kid, but after my first stick car, I never looked back. Live in the burbs, been blessed with easy commutes (no stop and go), my left knee isn't too arthritic to push a pedal.. Not the right time to go back to autoIm selling my baby.. Its a sad, sad time for me. Gotta make room for the new family vehicle, 2013 ford edge. My 1999 Dodge dakota R/T has to go. Never understood why Dodge only made them automatic. They most definitely should have been a manual trani. Ive had this truck for 12 years and now I have to say goodbye.
