[OFFICIAL] Manual v. Automatic Thread

Oh lord, IBTC..

This will not turn out well.

My two cents are that the manual is more involved, the automatic isnt bad on the Z though.

I am out of this thread for good, may god be with all who try and defend their opinion in the battleground that will become of this.

I think you forgot to say, "Amen"! But you really hit the nail on the head! Let the **** slinging begin!

OK - I'll say what he wanted to say - Automatics are for retards who can't drive.

^^^ LOL!

I saw the thread title and was VERY reluctant to open this thread. I've already explained my part hundreds of times about this subject. But somehow I still opened this thread.

This thread = can of worms.

To each his own! Personal preference! No need for ignorant comments!

Now that is an ironic comment from anyone bearing that moniker

I'd say it's personal preference. I just drove the automatic and I was quite thrilled by it's performance. But if I had the full use of my faculties (I have degenerative arthritis in my left knee at age 32) I wouldn't even consider anything other than standard. But again that would just be personal preference. I found there to be nothing considerably wrong with this car in automatic form. The BMW 335i is a different story, when I drove that one (in auto form of course) I didn't like it because it was too..... calming? It felt as if I should be cruising more so than enjoying the rigors of its manual-matic mode. I want to be instigated, and I believe I may have found my poison in the 370. Others may have a completely different outcome.

So take your time and experience both, I truly believe the only person whom can answer your question to your satisfaction........... is you.

Best of luck.
