I am pro manual. I think it should be offered as an option on some cars. I don't think the stereotypes perpetuated here concerning the auto vs. manual debate are in any way accurate.

I am pro-choice.

Pick whatever makes YOU happy. You are not on this Earth to justify your choice to a bunch of idiots on the internet (myself included).

Just don't start sniping at the other side for making that choice.

Don't be a dick, basically.

Or be a dick.

Its your choice.

I'm pro "non auto shift paddles!" Yes, paddle shifters that will not self shift. Promotes learning shift pasterns, attention to the engine RPM's, and two hands on the wheel all the time.

Choice is always good and I think automatic has its place in automotive universe. That said I prefer manual in most cases.

Pro-choice.

You like a manual? That's fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine. Just stop trying to tell me to go drive a manual like you're selling me salvation. You drive your manuals, I'll drive my autos, and we'll all get along. Together. With our love of cars.

You know, that would definitely teach people to keep their fucking hands on the wheel at all times.

Well, sexually speaking I am pro-both. Car-wise I am pro-choice. Sometimes there is good reason for an automatic. For all the other times, manual.

We should have options. Just not at the expense of our manual transmissions.

I remain pro-choice, and if I see you fuckers outside of a GM factory with your disgusting pictures of aborted manuals, I am coming for you

Are you asking if we think every car should be manual, or if we should be allowed to chose manual or automatic?

Or are you insinuating that non manual drivers kill unborn children?

Autostick here. Will rev to 7k before the computer says "ok you really need to shift". The automatic downshifts at a stop isnt a bad convenience either. But it's also nice being able to hold off up shifts and force downshifts as needed.

Pro-choice. Drive free or die, right?

Pro-choice but I'd never buy a car without a stick with my own money.

I've had bad examples of both. I don't have a requirement for either. So, choice I guess.

yeah it isn't a bad convenience for the auto down but I think full discipline is needed. Especially from what i've seen during traffic lol. All in all, re inventing the auto/manual is key I think

As you don't care, all of your future cars will be delivered with GM three-speed slushboxes.

You didn't specify a vendor just a shift style.

For the record I don't have a beard becomes it grows in all super thin and scraggly. And I would trade my Miata just to be able to grow a gnarly beard, which I would immediately proceed to do. Aaaaall through summer. Dammit, life!

I don't necessarily require a stick and three pedals, but at least give me flappy paddles or something so that I can control my gearbox. The one thing I hate about my Civic is the fact that I can't squeeze out all of the engine's potential, because it always shifts at least 2k RPM before you really hit the power band (and the Franken-VTEC that it was never supposed to have). Good for gas mileage, terrible for fun.
