I live in an area with huge hills and do most of my driving in the city so I choose AT and am happy with it. I had a manual before this car and don't miss it a bit, except for those open road runs out of the city.

I you have to ask the question MT or AT, you're probably an AT driver. Traffic and Hills are no excuse to get an AT if you enjoy driving a MT.

i'm sure it's not just me... but i have no problems driving mt on hills... i don't really get frustrated driving mt in traffic... you get used to it (i live in jersey... so trust me... i've seen some nasty traffic)... and as for the beej... i would rather pull over and enjoy the moment... although it has been accomplished with a mt before.

Yeah, this might be the right answer. If it will be your first stick, you will suck at driving it and probably wont enjoy it. AT is pretty lame on an IPL, but whatever works best for you.

Yes this BJ thing will be a annoying even though my gf is more worried about not being able to hold my hand while im driving. I only get road head a couple times a year so I guess its not THAT much of a loss buh road head is definitely enjoyable. Ill just drive her car if i want road head that badly =D

I know I'm late on this. The only people who should by a G manual are experienced with manuals. And also are spirited drivers. If your not both then you'll be replacing your clutch soon and will never enjoy the car for what its capable of. For performance, stick beats auto and runs cooler! For Racing auto will beat stick if you have a tricked out tranny. The G stock isnt!
