Happy Friday -
I'm sure it has been posted before...
have to wonder how many threads have not I would guess.

At any rate I was wondering how many owners got a automatic or a stick shift then wished they had the other or actual sold the one to get the other?

And no, this is not a 'autos' are trash or 'manuals rule' thread so lets save ourselves that bashing today shall we? After all it is a big cost (for most of us) to purchase then sell/trade when going from one car to another so was just wondering how many jumped from one rx to another and maybe your reasons behind it plus after you did it did you miss what you had prior (so far as the auto or stick part goes).

Heading down to Solomon's Castle with a car group tomorrow so will get to put some miles on my rx8

Hum...
maybe title should have been 'ever wished you didn't or glad you did'. Don't think one can edit a title after it has been posted though o'well.

 

Hmm, never looked back on a manual purchase since I got my first manual as an 1988 RX-7...

My hand and foot gets very bored when driving an auto..

 

i had a auto s13, drove my cousin 99 corolla and it was stick, ever since then i wanted a manual, that my preference now, i say F*ck it im young

 

Autos are trash, manuals rule.

 

manual for life.

 

I bought an 04 automatic RX8 and drove it for a year. Traded it in on the 05 manual.
Best car thing I ever did.

 

Once you go manual you never go back.

 

MT...I wouldn't have it any other way... No regrets!! and I'm a female.....

My only regret... My first car was an '88 RX-7 and it was AT (didn't know how to drive stick at the age of 18)...learned later that year though!!!

 

My first car I ever had was an auto.. Haven't driven an auto sense.. I personally like the feel of the manuals better...

 

Manual FTW!

 

^^ +1

 

this thread sux, whatever, everyone has their own reason for driving what they like or want...

 

You tell them baby luv...whose been in hiding...

 

there are times when i wish i owned an automatic. its just more convenient for city driving.

 

I only regret the MT when I'm stuck in stop and go traffic, and sometimes first gear.

 

Well yeah... I'm sure everyone will agree that a MT sucks in traffic...

 

Hubby has an AT Jeep. Prefer something that big, IF I drive it, not to have to mess with gears, otherwise MT only. Owned one AT....passed out behind the wheel and rolled for 1/2 a mile into oncoming traffic..MT would have stalled. Rarely drive an AT unless I have too, scary sh8t I tell ya..! NO worries about passing out, but I'd rather not take the chance.
