I've driven MT in traffic with Hondas, VWs, and BMW that have smoother drivetrains in bad traffic. On open roads though, the ride was much smoother (the twins definitely like being shifted at high RPMs).

Of course this could be just my friends driving ability, but I've heard a lot about the difficulty of driving the MT in our cars smoothly in harsh traffic.

In the end I'm glad I have my AT as this car is my DD road warrior getting me through rush hour everyday. In wish I had it in MT for weekends though!


I sat in stop go traffic (15-20 mph max) on the belt parkway (Staten island ny) for and hour and a half and its smooth as can be... plus the clutch pedal is so light its not tiring at all.

edit: my dd too
