In fact some dealerships that didn't have manual tried to sell me an auto on that argument. After sitting in traffic for 2 hours in my auto I thought I was going to lose it. Not only was I bored silly but I was constantly on my phone texting Facebook he'll even browsing these forums. Don't get me wrong with my manual I still text and drive sometimes but wow in the automatic I was glues to my phone. So bored I tried to drive with only my left foot. It was pretty funny haha. I have put on 8k miles and a lot of traffic. Hell all kind of traffic. The fully stopped kind the get to 30 mph then stop and on and on. The mt keeps me engaged. I am almost find it therapeutic haha. Am I alone in this? I'm 23 and healthy so is it an age thing? Is it something with older cars? The light clutch?
So what is the hatred for manual in traffic?

Totally feel you! I just drove back on 91 hwy from Torrance back to Corona, 55 miles with 2 hours heavy traffic, but I still enjoyed my MT Fit on the way back. If I have a AT, I won't be enjoyed that much of it.
