Manual every time, I can make the car do what I want it to do, when I want to, manuals are for real drivers not lazy ones, more response from a manual, dont see many rally cars with auto boxes, again, proper drivers.

I bet this gets all you auto drivers typing like mad.

Horses for courses. Give me a manual any day on a twisty lane. Give me an auto any day when I've got a lot of miles to cover because they're so much less tiring in traffic and, IMO, pretty much as good as a manual unless you're trying to get 10/10ths out of the car.

I'm fortunate enough to have one of each but if it came down to it I think my one and only car would have to be manual.

Also worth adding that if the engine's a bit peaky or doesn't have gobs of power an automatic is a non starter because it can't keep the engine on the boil.

Omega - Manual

I like both!! Auto when i am feeling lazy, but i still like the Manual...

terribly sorry old boy, I am a little tired! Yet another auto vs manual thread! Zzzzzzzzzz!  :y  :y

They're 1.7 ton(ne) barges that're never going to be thrown around corners like a sports car. Have a 2 pedal car and be lazy.
