1 thing that sucks about manual is u cant eat/text while u drive, but neither of those should b happening in ur car. i tune out nething outside and just enjoy the ride. my speakers rarely get used

, but hey, i love her. i wouldnt trade her for the world. i would like to have a 4x4 S10 V6 auto to tool around in in the winter, and days when i just dont feel like driving my Camaro. i can eat/text and drive. i use my knees......

I thought the A4 Fbody would bore the hell out of me when all I've owned before it was manual cars. But the A4 dosn't bore me one bit. It's perfect for my daily driver IMO, Tampa traffic sucks

I do, its sometimes a pain in stop and go in TN's hilly landscape, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I previously owned a 95 v6 camaro with an automatic, and i hated no shift (regardless of the power difference.)
You can always use the paddle shift system on e-controlled automatics, but I like the 3rd pedal.

DD my M6 in summer and my winter beater = Golf is a shifter to. Except when I get stuck in a traffic jam on the autobahn I love to shift.
A little tip for launch from a extrem uphill- Pull the ebrake, press clutch+put in 1st, release the clutch slowly until you feel the car wants to move, hold it there accelerate slowly and release the ebrake.
