i think it all depends on what kind of driving you do.... if your in the city alot then autos the way to go...if you offroad alot, most people prefer manual for control i guess and so they can shift it into a really low gear for traction....
me, im driving a truck so what do i need manual for, so i prefer auto, but in a fast car its manual all the way....

It's ashame they're becoming more rare everyday. You use to have to special order autos, now you have to special order manuals at many dealerships =\ Freakin ppl are just too lazy/too scared to learn. I can understand if you live/work in a downtown metro area but damn, usually those ppl ride the bus.
I had my truck on the Brooklyn Expressway through NYC during rush hour twice in the last two weeks. Didn't bother me, just gotta leave space in front of your vehicle to keep rollin at 700 rpms haha.

I drove my Tbird manual for a long time, I love automatics for the fact I can get drunk and no one will screw up my clutch drivin me home. I do like the feel of control I get with a manual however, and offroading is much better because I can shift between whatever gear I feel is nessisary, as oppose to my auto now where I can only pick between 1st and 2nd.

My next ranger will be an Auto. I've had soo many problems with mine. I just had it fixed for $2000 and now its doing the same thing again. Maybe its because all transmission mechanics are con artists around here, or the transmission. I dunno. but my next one will be an Auto. Ehf all this.
