As I get older, I'm beginning to realize just how much more "practical" an AT is over an MT when it comes to daily driving...AT FTW!

Down side... It makes it just that much harder to text while you're drinking a McDonalds shake and having to turn the corner when you're windows are all ice'd up and the roads are slick.

AT is teh sex!
There's a perfectly good reason why new super cars like the Nissan GT-R only come as an AT and not as an MT.

id rather have a semi manual > full auto. i dont like, that the ecu has all of the control on shifting. yes, stop and go traffic is horrible.. and even worse if you have a staged clutch with high clamp force. but it goes with the territory, you gain control but lose a little convenience. i think its a fair trade off.
