cybergreg is a crybaby, what the hell, he started the shittalking on manual vs. automatic by attacking me, autostick is not a maunal therefore its not shifting, its pushing a damn button, sure both transmissions have their pros and cons but i stand by the fact that if you bought this car for a sports car like i did there is no other way to go than a manual transmission. if you own a corvette or something completely awesome, or maybe you bought this as a commuter, or for the wife to drive too, then i can forgive the fact that you bought a automatic SPORTS CAR.
