I would get a manual car. It a little tricky at first, especially if you live aorund hills.
Once you get the hang of it you will love it.
If you are planning to get the car in your avatar then you BETTER get a manual cause an auto in that car will be lame:)

how is it on a daily use..like if u wanna drive it in town alot..does it get anoying that u have to go to 1st eveytime u stop?

You get used to it... if you have a clutch like in a Honda Civic it's got no pressure it'll be fine. I've driven around in a vehicle with a triple plate clutch and I've driven split axle Diesels... NOW THAT IS A FRICTION POINT!!!

Ya, manual is definatly alot better. You actually feel like you are driving.

Gusto · #15 (**permalink**) Jan 18, 05

you have a lot more contol over your vehicle when driving manual. it's not really annoying, it becomes second nature really.

Learn how to drive a standard transmission car.

This way you can drive any car that you come across in case of emergency.

straight lol... I've said it once and I'll say it a million times over. There's no replacement for displacement!!!!

Standard by far. It first you'll be a bit weary of hills and crowded situations, random stallings and that kinda shit. Tough it out! After awhile you get used to it and will never go back. You can excellerate or slow down very fast. Adjusting your speed and flying around corners is a breeze. After awhile you do the hand and foot motions automatically.

if ur a guy, u hav to go with standard. drivin around town wuld b so boring with an auto. standard in most cars is cheaper to buy and better gas mileage too.

Dean · #25 (**permalink**) Jan 18, 05

standard in a car ESPECIALLY with a small engine
any kinda sporty car or something go with a standard.... they're lame with an auto... you cant corner and got less power and less control
i would NEVER touch anything with a four cyl engine if it was auto.. they're just totally gutless
if your looking at trucks or SUVs or bigger sedans or something with at least a V6 inside, it doesn't matter as much
