    I like the manual and it is gear box of choice, now that I no longer drive in rush hour traffic on I-270. If my daily commute was still stop and go driving, an automatic is the only option.

    I prefer a manual. I have no problems with automatics, some folks need them.

    I could be happy with a DSG gearbox, those are pretty amazing pieces of kit. Torque converter autos with paddle shifters are fine, but please don't tell me they shift like an F1 car. :lol:
