The auto is a different experience, a manual is a manual in any car.
Sure, i can use the excuse that i drive in traffic every day commuting to school and that i take road trips every month (all true) but that's pointless. I bought the auto because its a good fucking transmission, a lot better then the manual in my view point. The manual doesn't suit this car well to my modern viewpoint because of its lack of power. I didn't buy this car for power, i bought it cause it oversteers like a bitch and its the only modern day car under 30K that can kill me more easy then all the others.
Now can we lock this topic?

not sure if I follow you on this one. i had a 100hp Hyundai Accent with a 5 speed and it was incredibly fun to just bang it through the gears. That car would have been miserable and super boring with an automatic. I don't think the amount of power has much to do with what transmission suites the car more. I'd say a manual trans is way more suited to a sports car and that an auto is probably more suited to an SUV or something.
