I own a 6spd but I've been driving an automatic loaner for the past week. I was abit on the fence about which tranny to purchase but now I'm positive I made the right choice for me.
My observations:
PROS
6spd)
-6spd is much quicker
-more control over the car's powerband
-more fun
CONS
6spd)
-6spd is notchy into 2nd on cold days
-clutch take up in 2nd is nonlinear
-ya gotta drive all the time....no relaxing
PROS (auto)
-auto is convienent (I can actually go to Starbucks' drive thru)
-auto is good for an automatic
-good choice for a daily driver
CONS: (auto)
-slower
-touchshift is easily bumped too many gears when hand is resting on shifter
-side-to-side touchshift isn't as natural as an up-down movement
-tap....pause....shift
-never does exactly what I want it to do
This is just my opinion
