I knew a guy that proclaimed to know how to drive manual (and all the associated techniques), but he never owned any manual cars and in the 3 years I knew him, I never saw him drive an MT. So finally a buddy and I put him behind the wheel of a 5MT accord (VERY easy to drive). After much teasing, he finally got in and he couldn't make it down the street....

hahahaha!!

Rational: when drinking and 'should not drive' that leaves my fiance at the wheel who cannot drive a MT. I have been stuck places many times with a car that we cannot drive to get home. Very frustrating.

So now all I buy is AT so she can drive when Im not able too.

Also, I'm not sure if I would ever buy an MT again. My modded out ZR thus far has been far superior then many coupe MT on the dyno with the mods that I have.

Dont get me wrong- driving a MT is fun for a few minutes. It gives you that race car feel for sure. But Atlanta traffic and long distances I would rather have a AT.

just my .02

you do wat you need to do. my 3 cars are all MT and dd is MT. i personally think MT is easier to drive in congestion vs AT.
