Automatic. Now. My first four cars I had were all manual transmission cars, and that's what I learned to drive on, too.

I like shifting. I agree that it gives you more power and control. So does a bigger motor, though, and I like the smoothness of the automatic in the car I drive now. I have gotten used to not shifting but wouldn't be bothered if I had to go back to a stick.
birdgirl73 Reviewed by birdgirl73 on . Automatic or manual? Simple poll. Do you drive an automatic or manual? I drive a manual and love it. I'm definitely sticking with manual with every car I get. It's just more fun to drive and you have a lot more control. Automatics are just too easy to drive. I catch myself looking for the clutch whenever I have to drive a friends car when they get too drunk to drive and I didn't take my car. Another quick question. Do you all think driving a manual makes you a better driver? Rating: 5
