I'm of the group who believe sports cars shouldn't come in automatic. I want the acceleration, control, and feel of a car designed around control and feel. 5th isn't useless in the manual and does provide easy passing power on the hwy. Not to mention most mods will be compatible with manual before automatic (if at all).

For myself, I can drive both. When I was dd'ing my old swapped accord, sometimes I wished I had an auto. When I got my tC, sometimes I wish I had a manual (though a valve body from IPT makes the auto shift a lot better). Regardless of what car you get, I think there will always be a question of what would it have been if I had gotten ____ transmission instead. There's benefits to both.

Now, there are definitely some people who NEED to drive an auto...for the safety of everyone around them. At least until the cars that drive themselves are developed... |
