Auto for city driving, on the open road it does'nt really matter auto or manual as the late models have 6- 8 gears for highway driving    ( my wife and i took our car for a run to Melbourne aprox. 800 ks. my wife drove for a while to get a feel for the car, she was passing a car i looked down at the speedo and we were doing 160 ks, i told her it was a bit fast to be passing at least now i know i have the power if needed to pass safely and quickly and it is an Auto- Triptronic.

I do like the stick but my current car is an auto. Its hard to find a VW TDI in the U.S. with a manual transmission.

Stick shift was great for when i was a hoon,,you could wind her out to peak revs before changing,,it was also handy if you had a dicky gear box or clutch,,you could pick your revs without chewing a tooth off your gears,,,also handy having a stick shift for sliding around dirt corners when being chased with a flashing light,,,,however now i am a good boy with a Auto transmission, that does not speed,slide or race anywhere..i just sit there and let the car do all the work...>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

Automatic please.

I can manage a stick shift but not well.  I grind the gears to much and I get stuck on the inclines.  LOL, I borrowed my grandfather's stick shift several years ago and I had to yield to traffic while trying to enter the main loop. It was on an incline and I got stuck. There was also the time I borrowed my grandfather's truck to move furniture to Ft. Worth and blew the engine 3 hours into the trip, but I don't like talking about  it. :(

I have an automatic now, just as well, sometimes my right foot doesn't know what my left foot is doing, more  so when I'm  dancing that driving,  fortunately.

I drive an automatic but I really love driving a standard. It's not a good idea to have a standard at my age...ever present possibility of hip/knee surgery, arthritis, etc. <sigh> Must be sensible.
