Jai2008 · 04-12-2009, 08:56 AM

32, Manual

turner23 · 04-12-2009, 08:57 AM

25, 6MT

Unless my knees go out, 6MT for life!

C4747Z · 04-12-2009, 09:11 AM

just turned 23, 6MT

shodanusmc · 04-12-2009, 09:41 AM

59 and AUTO, but it is my wifes car. Yes, she loves that 135 Vert. We both learned to drive stick years ago, when it was mounted on the column! It is just easier in the Chicago area ruish hour traffic, but I would not have a problem if she wanted her 135 with the MT.

themyst · 04-12-2009, 10:58 AM

30, manual

wife is 34, and she has no complaints or issues driving the 6MT. God bless her!

x97Melbourne · 04-12-2009, 11:01 AM

29 yrs old. M/T.

Nothing wrong with an automatic, but never for a little rocket car like the 1 series. Thats a crime. People who have a physical handicap are of course excluded from my comment!!!

JSierra · 04-12-2009, 11:35 AM

26, 6MT......yay im back

Tj303 · 04-12-2009, 11:41 AM

26, manual

manual definitely makes the driving experience more involving, plus with the manual hill assist it's an extra bonus in peak hour trafic too

993 911 · 04-12-2009, 12:24 PM

18/MT

Would have selected DCT if they offered it.

GregB · 04-12-2009, 12:27 PM

26(almost) 6MT

Last 2 cars (STI and a MKIV Supra turbo) were both manual as well.

A little recap as of current posts: Average Age: 34. 56 Manual VS 15 Auto. My math may be a little of--but it is close enough for government work.

Also noted: No comments from any runners.

AZ135 · 04-12-2009, 12:58 PM

24 this week/ 6mt of course.

jmcgraw013 · 04-12-2009, 01:16 PM

42, auto w/paddles - can't say I miss having a manual clutch in DC area traffic... but downshifting with the paddles comes in handy. The steptronic in DS mode is pretty nice off the line and otherwise, I find the standard D mode fine for everyday around town driving.

alivebacon · 04-12-2009, 01:17 PM

17 Auto (same situation as the other guy with family being able to drive it and all)

freshwhite335 · 04-12-2009, 01:25 PM

17 auto
just didnt want a stick.

2AD Tanker · 04-12-2009, 01:36 PM

42 - manual!

wnta135 · 04-12-2009, 01:40 PM

62 - Manual

m7ammed · 04-12-2009, 01:52 PM

24 Auto , it will be here in 2 weeks. If I had another car this surely would have been a manual I was really torn, but have to work 10 hours per day and then sit through traffic doesn't seem very pleasing with a manual.

It is interesting fact that in countries as Russia or India you can’t buy a car with auto from a domestic car maker, so you can get auto only from imported cars that are obviously more expensive and prestigious. Situation in US is simple opposite if you want a prestige, take an imported car with manual.

49 - 6 speed auto
