stick shift or automatic
TheKid:
im looking at damiens thread on getting a manual evo and i need the audience opinion
TheKid:
also i wanna get into driving next yearish and i wonder what i should get as a first car and if it should be stick or not
Maxwell.:
I have to learn stick shift so obviously I'll prefer it over automatic
the benefit of knowing stick is that you can drive manual and automatic since your license probably covers it
TheKid:
pros of manual:
makes you look cool
becomes second nature if you keep at it
gives you more control over the car
less maintenance
keeps you more focused
pros of automatic:
less effort to use
sucking titty is easier cause you dont have to shift as often so you can lean over
becomes second nature easily

Depends, for puny suburban compacts I'd pick auto, but if I was to use a workhorse truck or off road it would be manual
