autos rule i cant even recall how many cars ive had,and if you live in a big city with lots of traffic,shifting back and forth is not going to get you anywhere faster,it just flat out sucks shifting all the time.if i want to shift i get on my bike. |  |  | | 04-01-2006, 08:22 PM | #62 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: Montclair, VA Posts: 338 |

I got a manual. I love it but with my bad left knee, it makes it difficult in Los Angeles traffic. I am planning on getting a second car, automatic, for my daytime cruiser. __________________

Auto's are like easy women... they're fun at first, but you get tired of them really fast. | | | | | 05-22-2006, 06:45 AM | #65 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: Berlin, Germany Posts: 258 |
Auto's are like well-used whores. They're real mushy, and they feel sloppy and the experience is overall numbing and not satisfying at all. | | | | | 06-22-2006, 11:08 PM | #66 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2003 Location: Northern IL Posts: 263 |

Ok mine is manual and I have been looking for it almost a year. It's hard to find a stick, atleast around here in Boston. I have never owned an automatic car and I'd never buy one. Few reasons:
1. It's so borring
2. The driving is not enjoyable at all
3. I hate to keep my feet on the brake at every traffic light (when I am driving my gf's automatic Toyota Corolla 'very rare')
4. Not the last but the most important is that the stick shift is much faster
It's not too hard to drive a stick, come on guys get a manual 318ti and you will feel the difference!

I hate automatics. I can't drive them for more than 5 minutes without my left leg gettin all twitchy.  However it is easier to drive after certain activities I enjoy doing,   | | | | | |
