Kccitystar Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 The eternal debate on which would you prefer to drive? A stick shift or an automatic. There's lots of different reasons why people prefer one or the other but what's your view with these 2 options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mav3rek Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Stick Shift all the way! Much more fun to drive, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsox Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I drive with an automatic transmission as I find it easier and much smoother over long distances or when driving at a constant high speed. But back home I drive a stick shift (or attempt to drive one at least). If I had a preference, I would probably go with automatic transmission, but have nothing against manual transmission.

RaysFTW Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Automatic transmission ftw! (although I haven't driven a car with manual transmission) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee4Life Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I picked automatic. And I also thought you meant fielding. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanzarelli Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I drive a manual, mostly because they are usually cheaper than a car with an automatic transmission. They also sometimes get better gas mileage and you can slow your car by down-shifting rather than constantly using the brakes. But, if you do end up with an automatic, I suggest you at least practice on a manual, because you never know when a bad situation will come up, and the only car there might be is a manual.

mvp23 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Not many people know how to drive a stick shift. I perfer automatic in the city and stick shift on highways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred13 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Driving downtown with a stick is a *****. I've done both, and personally driving shift makes me focus on the road better. Like Homer said, I get lazy driving auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Automatic. I don't grind my own coffee, generate my own electricity, pump my own water, I own a TV and video game system with a remote, etc. Why the hell would I shift my Xterra when it can do it on its own?

angryrat Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Even though it was 2 1/2 hours of driving home today in Chicago dead stopped traffic, I still prefer manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 automatics are for girls and minivans agreed. with manual you have more control on how fast you're going.. and you can legitimately redline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYM Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I'm turing 16 in a month and will be driving soon. I'll be driving automatic. When you live in the city, your an idiot if you drive manual. You can't go 10 feet without starting and stopping. Actually, I'm still going to be taking the ferry, bus, and subway because it's quicker.
