I always like these topics, manual or auto. I especially like how people try to give reasons why they bought an auto. Not only an auto, but an auto Celica. Comfort, cruising, relaxing, Blah Blah Blah...Automatics should be banned. Car companies should stop producing them now! I'm going to start a BAN THE AUTOMATIC club. I believe the people who drive autos think people who drive stick are some crazy, bumbling, sweet in traffic, which gear am I in, oh no starting on a hill people. For me driving a manual is as easy as an automatic if not easier. The advantages of a manual are far greater than those of an automatic, which don't have any, especially in a little 4 banger.
Wait a minute...
I learned to drive manual ages ago (1985) I drove AT for first time (2001 at work)
I bought '00 GT AT, because I got a really good deal w/a friend who needed the $... (I took advantage)
The car looks pretty good (everybody ask me if it's new !!!)
The tittle is CLEAN I got it for less than $10k
That's
WHY!Some time life give you oportunities like this only once!
I'm planning to get a GTS MT before this year ends!
