Just interested to see the ratio of manual gearboxes vs auto 'boxes. I've got a 5-speed focus hatchback.

i've got both?

Not counting two company vehicles I have bought 13 stick shifts so far.

Unless I buy a high end sedan my next one will be an stick shift as well.

wow, a great dilemma to have, I must say, lol. I guess I should clarify, whatever your daily driver is.

manual all the live long day FTW

only way i can make the little economy cars i usually drive fun

 

[no1likesme]

my jeep has an auto

 

[fat pat]

manual ftw. my eclipse gsx was 5 speed, and my svt focus is 6 speed. i really dont think i will willfully go and buy an automatic car again, unless it is all that exists. when i drive my dads car(g35 seden 5at) i still feel incredibly disengaged from it and quite bored actually

Wuss. My 5-series is a stick.

Manual Nissan Primera.

Big gulf between auto and synchro mesh gearboxes between the usa and europe though.

I drive an auto, but I'd much rather be driving a manual. My Accord might actually have a bit of pep with a manual, but the slushbox is awful and makes for a very boring car. I do what I can, though.

A 5 series is not what I meant by a high end sedan!

Automatic because well, it's not like I drive a high performance car.

 

[Seaside]

Manual for fun driving.
Automatic when you expect frequent stop and go.

Slushbox. I'm a fan of using the right tool for the job. (Commuting for me.)

Does M5 qualify as hi-end sedan?
