How Many 7AT Drivers Have Done This...

i dont think age has much to do with it - im 22. i just like to shift it from time to time. it's more exciting and gives more control. i hate when im on D, coming to a stop and the car upshifts pushing me forward a bit. sometimes you have to make a sudden stop and that upshift boost is a little scary...

i dont know, it was just on my mind. sometimes people try to act like they dont make mistakes, so i felt like this was one of those things people do and never really talk about.

UNKNOWN_370, i dont use the cell while driving, but the call came in while i was at a red light. do you follow the speed limit at all times too?

If you like the ecitement & control, why did you get an AT?

Cause if we want to feel old and drive like the blue hairs, we can!

because (in no particular order):

1. i felt like it and can
2. i had the extra cash
3. higher resale value
4. i like having options (it's stick when i want, it's auto when i want)
5. it's faster than the manual (oh snap. relax guys, it's not that serious)
6. traffic (i'm a business guy, i take a lot of calls, drive clients around, i dont have time to fiddle with stick shift all the time - see #4)
7. i have a lifetime warranty. dont have to worry about clutches.

i had a stick car and im over that little "phase" (im not saying it's a phase for everyone, it just was for me). these are MY reasons and i dont care what anyone else thinks about it because they were my hard-earned $35000. everyone is different.
