Auto or Stick?

[Mach 1]

What are you after? .5 seconds faster and the hassle of shifting, or a more laid back drive?

Sounds like you will get tired of shifting, as you are already talking about it.

For me, its automatic and air conditioning. After all, your mostly sitting in traffic anyway. Not like its really fun to drive a stick in traffic.

I say go auto. Unless your after the faster of the two, then go stick.
