Auto or Manual for the streets?
Which one would you pick for a EVERYDAY driver, meaning every time you leave to go somewhere, that is the car you take, no other secondary cars (just for the sake of this thread).
You experience EVERY kind of road conditions available and you do this daily.
I'm picking auto, they can call me a wuss, I don't care
What would you pick?
BTW: manumatics are still autos

Automatic, but I'd also require some more horsepower and torque to go along with it. 3800 is great for this.
You drove behind me for a while at ONBF Cody, and you see how 92hp (when new) coupled to an automatic transmission holds up...

Here, in Erie, I have had both. Really, it would depend on the car. With the power of a Bonnie, I am fine with an auto. If if were a little 4 banger, or something like a WRX, def a stick.
Traffic is not really bad here, so a stick in town isn't so bad.
I have driven a stick in Pittsburgh, not fun!!
