I like to drive a manual. Maybe when I'm your age I'll get an AT and not care anymore. Maybe MT's won't even exist at that point. I know my dad used to drive nothing but MT's and now he likes AT's... he's also 63 and just doesn't care about that kind of stuff at his age. That's FINE. I don't think anyone here chose the MT because it's "faster" or "manlier" and if you did, well, you suck too. The MT felt much more responsive to me than the AT, more peppier if you will. It was a night and day difference so I chose the MT. Sure it sucks in bumper to bumper traffic but that's the price you pay for MT.
God damn this thread is annoying, why do I keep returning? Why is it suddenly stupid to drive an MT???
EDIT: I also hate paddle shifters since they turn with the steering wheel. Gets awkward when your hands aren't in the right place for them. I didn't like the automatic, fuck me right??

Dude chill!
A lot of us old guys drive the MT and younger guys drive the AT as well and yes many of the responses to the AT guys most certainly do in involve comments like it's "faster" or "manlier"! These guys are just defending their choice from the multitudes of MT owners that say the AT is crap! It isn't and they have every right to press home their case.
And besides if you father wants to be an old fart that is his problem not something to throw at the rest of us "old guys"!!!
I knew we would need a ref here eventually!
