Wish I could get a MT car, but rush hour traffic in NYC is no joke.

Living in NY IMO manual is just not practical, if you love it that much more power to you, but with the way traffic is around here to me its just a hassleunless you have the option to own an auto and a manual car.

its harder to eat and drink while your driving though , especially in traffic but if you good like me , you can do that!!!
i mean if your madd hungey off course your gonna do it...i dont have time to eat so i eat on the road..not to mention my truck is standerd so it makes it a lil difficult but i got use to it!!!....my first car was a 1994 honda prelude v-teck manual...tried to sell it 3 months later some catz stoled it in front of my house at midnight..
When I'm super hungry, I go find a place to eat and I'll be satisfied when I get back in the car. I would rather find the 15-30 mins to enjoy a meal rather than multi tasking in the car and A. worry about getting the interior dirty and B. not focusing completely on the road.

Quit driving Civic Si's, drive a real car with some power.Civic orNSX-R is the perfect example of that. A lot more exciting that say, an auto Z or G.

I've never driven a stick...if I was getting a "sport" car I'd get manual.
But I've don't hate on auto like many others.

R35's are not manual and best believe there taking out most cars on the street, but thats cuz the ****** and tiptronic on that is serious, some of the newvw's and audi's use DSG and it has a faster 0-60 time then their manuals, but my next car is going to be a manual, and my last car was a 04 tl auto,the sport shift on that was nice but not as nice if it were manual..

I think your more likely to get your car stolen if you have a Manual then a Auto in NYC, coming from a Uptown/Bronx perspective, Hondas are ano-no unless you putting it in a garage.Originally Posted by 255forLife

I'd take a manual transmission most of the time but there are moments when having an auto is appreciated

R35's are not tiptronic...they have Dual Clutch Transmission. Often called DSG like you said, or DCT by others (Nissan GT-R). It has twoclutches I believe. One to engage gears 1,3,5 and the other for gears 2,4,6 or some %%@.
I really feel that dual clutch is going to be the future, and a regular 6 speed manual stick will become the option. Although manual stick is more fuelefficient than regular autos, it has been proven that DSG's are even more fuel efficient than the manual stick.
There is a big difference between DSG and tiptronic. DSG is basically a manual with the option to put it in auto mode. Tiptronic is a gimmickbasically...computer set gears (Usually can't reach the redline etc.)
In 08 it was auto's only. But in 09 there's an option which costs more than the base price. Like I brought up above...this will be the new trend. Lesspeople are driving stick therefore it will become an added cost for someone that really wants one.
AMG's is the only cars that I can think of that are strict autos.
Good point.
That is correct. SMG is the name BMW uses for dual clutch trans I believe. If I am wrong I will be corrected...this is NT.

You're talking about rolling blunts right? I pride myself in being able to flip an L while driving my auto but I don't see how that'spossible driving a stick.Originally Posted by ThrowedInDaGame
I give props to anyone who can roll while manual shifting. I saw this done once in HS when i used to do idiotic things like. It's hard enough to roll while driving auto, but manual. I go either-or, but I'd probably take a semi-auto over a pure manual these days.
