I prefer the manual transmission for a few reasons. First, I feel much more in control of what's going on, which I appreciate. Second, I'm able to drive however I want; I can short shift for economy or I can hold a lower gear for fun times, and the gearbox always knows which I'm shooting for. Third, I get super bored in an auto-trans car. The best I can do to keep interested is left-foot brake, but it's still not worth it.
My only arguments for an auto trans are some sort of injury that makes shifting painful, driving almost exclusively in stop-and-go traffic, or advancing age.Interested in vintage cars? Ever thought about racing one? Info, photos, videos, and more can be found at www.michaelsvintageracing.com!

My main e30 is a 5spd. I do have two others that are autos and I honestly love cruising in them! I think they make for great stock dailys. There are plenty of times when I'm driving them that I wish they were stick but it's kinda nice driving an auto every now and thenYour signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

My DD is a step worse than auto... it's a CVT. It's actively aggressively horrible bad AND nasty.
Weekends April to November I drive an E30 5 speed with manual windows, sunroof, door-locks, seats, antenna, etc. Nothing happens until I tell it to, and I like that but can't be bothered when I'm slogging to and from work.

My E30 has been my first auto car, I'm desperately trying to collect the gear to do the 5 speed swap. All I have is the pedals so far, sad day.1991 325i - "Scambles" The Daily Driven lightly modded.

Re CVT:doesn't Nissan advertise its seamless shifting
It's while holding a constant speed or decelerating to a stop that the waffleswaffles thing sucks So Hard. With an infinite choice of ratios there's always a better one to be had. Makes it really hard to drive smoothly. At some magic speeds you can make it go boing-boing-boing down the road as it hunts for a ratio.
