luxury car = automatic
sports car = stick

Automatic for tactical concerns.

I think differently then you all.

Manual! Been driving with one since I learned how to drive in the UK (shifting with the left hand!) Will only go to an auto box if/when the left knee finally gives out...

manual, anytime, anywhere ( and I am living in Jakarta, Indonesia the heaviest city traffic in the world)........

For driving IN Los Angeles, a slushbox is the way to go. BUT... for driving the deserted canyon roads AROUND Los Angeles, the stick gets the nod. Have got two slushboxes right now, & DEARLY miss being able to jam some gears on the weekends. May sell one vehicle or pick up a third just to re-connect with the driving experience.

I'd say automatic, but for me too it's largely because I live in a city, and shifting constantly sitting in our horrible traffic would make me crazy. Also, since I just have a normal sort of everyday not-cool car, the stick is kind of pointless, anyway - it doesn't add a lot to my owning it, and then, well again, the nightmare traffic. Oh, well, maybe when I move to a place where you can actually move futher than five feet without stopping at rush hour, I'll switch. Or if I ever have a really cool sportscar.

Manual all the time

Manual - because automatics have no soul.
