Do you rather an automatic or manual transmission? (page 2)

Definitely a manual for me.

I know the American roads may make it nice to have an auto but you don't really experience the thrill of driving with an auto.

I do lot's of varied driving but twice a week I'm crawling around good old London town and I still prefer a manual for that.

I subscibe to 'Evo" car magazine (does anyone else?) /which upholds the 'thrill of driving', and that says all about how I like my driving. Btw I've had a letter of mine printed in the October 2006 edition.

Just wish I could afford some of the cars they test!

HA!

Another reason not to visit London. The congestion!!

I've driven both types of car and like the feel of the gear stick on a manual. Automatics are ok, but a wee bit boring!

I'm with you whyami, I love my Honda manual, you gotta work the revs to get the best out of it but the shift is soooo slick it's a joy to drive

I know I am a "Honda Whore!"

Although, I do miss my 97 TA...6 speed, w/Ram Air and T-tops - now that was fun. **sniff**

LOL, it was my service car....lmao!

Oh no Dansk - here we go again!

Congestion is much less in London now since 'loony leftie' Ken Livingstone introduced the C charge (the only thing he's done which has benefited London).

However he did say he would only ever raise it by inflation - cor, inflation must be high in the south coz it's just gone from 5pounds to 8pounds a day! Apparently he rakes in more revenue from the fines than the fees.

I say it again - London is busy because the vast majority of major banks, businesses, restaurants and of course retail want to be in our great capital city. If they all wanted to be oop north then that's where the congestion would be!

I have heard that you poor British souls also have to pay a tax just to drive into London town these days? And that Nick Mason got a terrible fine for not paying it promptly?

But then, I also heard that you have to pay a tax just to listen to open radio broadcast TV or else the TV police vans will come and get you...

Now I understand where that "mayor" guy that comes over here from London every so often to bash American life is coming from...

BTW, do you remember what comic strip "Archie"'s german exchange student girlfriend's name was?

Don't matter much to me, as long as it has a "4 low" range, and it has lockers in the front and rear axles...

I know I am a "Honda Whore!"

I just recently became one myself. We bought a CRV in May and I bought my Civic in July. I was a Nissan man.....I got sick of the rust.

Stick shift used to be fun out here in California, but there are sooooooo many people in L.A. now, that it's no longer fun. I have automatic, but I really miss stick shift.

I prefer automatic, since I'm a coffee sipper in traffic quite often. I learned to drive manual on a Honda Accord when I was 16. Love Hondas, still, even though I went with something different now.

The car I have now can be put into manual mode, so I can still have fun driving once in a while.
