Automatic vs Manual

So who's on auto and who's on

I had to go with the manual. I went with the 2.2L so I wanted to get as much out of my engine as I could.

Auto. I hate sitting in a traffic jam with a manual. It is my daily driver so that means daily traffic jams.

I hear that. We have some pretty good traffic down here, but I'm sure it's a quiet drive through the countryside compared to what you have up there.

My previous last 4 vehicles have been stick. I prefer stick-shift to auto. But with the Cali traffic I just couldn't do it anymore. I traded in my stick Civic and insisted on an auto HHR. I still have my 89 Toy 4runner whenever I want to bang through the gears.

Have manual. Hadn't driven one for 15 years but it is fun to drive one again.

Looks like I am the third with a Manual...it has been about 10 years since my last 5-speed. For the most part, I saved about 2K going with the Manual, so I spent about 2K on a set of Wheels......I really do not mind it in traffic...(at least that is what I say now...)
