Manual is FTW haha. Auto though is ez mode man, sometimes i do miss the laziness of it. But then again if i had an automatic i would be texting and talking onthe phone more offten, and that would probably result in an accident for me.
Drive manual. I don't think i'd want automatic unless it was a family car. It does feel like you have more control and its fun to down shift on thefreeway and overtake people. Also engine breaking helps the life of your breaks.
