HAHAHAHA! Nicely worded!

I chose a manual over the auto. Test drove both and the auto just seemed boring. I almost didn't buy an XB2 because I test drove the auto first and I was quite disappointed. Test drove a 5-speed and I was sold!

I would have liked a manual but my girlfriend will be driving it more than me.

Smile stick or auto?
 
Had stick all my life until my '08 xb. Too much(L.A.) traffic driving. My left calf is double the size of my right!

Purchased a manual, wife had problems with her knees, so expensively traded back for an automatic. Like it better for above reasons, traffic, never cared for clutch pedal much, seemed way high. Stayed with same color. Great auto.

Manual-every car I've owned was a manual, except for my last car, an 03 Eclipse. After about two months I hated it because I couldn't shift (technically, it had the sport-tronic tranny)

Manual here. Last car was an A6, the only thing I hated about it was the auto.

Auto was the only thing for this S.O.G. No real advantage in MPG and I drive too much in traffic.
