Ugm wrong.... I have daily driven manual transmissions for well over 400,000 miles over the years (just adding up manual cars I've owned and their mileage quickly in my head). After about the first 150,000 miles or so driving a MT basically becomes "automatic". Unless I'm racing (which I don't do when I'm using a car as a DD) it never really even occurs to me that I'm shifting gears, any more than it occurs to me that I'm braking or tuning the radio.
In the end, on the highway driving in traffic there is almost zero difference to me between the two, particularly in the 86.
Now, a race track would be a different story, but we are talking DD not racing.
