MANUAL FASTER....CHEAPER...BETTER ON GAS
I went to an auto on my previous car - mainly 'cause it was a good price.....I've hated it for the last 2 years! - Hence the new P5, so I guess in that respect I liked the auto!!! LOL!
I always had a manual before and would tell anyone to go that route....If you can't drive a stick - learn!
You don't know what your missing!!!
If you want to get in your car and stick your foot down - and move.....go ride a go cart at the fair!!

My previous car was a '95 Chevrolet Corsica 3.1 litre V6 with 4-spd auto I inherited from my mom.
4th gear ratio of 0.71 and 6 cylinders with sequential port fuel injection and 70 series tires makes for a very smooth, comfortable and quiet highway driving experience.
But other than that, it wasn't really a driver's car. I would give it a 2 out of 10 in the "Fun-to-drive" category. I just don't have the heart to give my own car a zero.

As an owner of a "Sport" Auto Pro5 I am going to give you the same advice as most everyone else here. Unless you have a hideous commute go 5 Speed all the way.
I commute 35 miles each way every day in some of the worst traffic in the country, that's why I went with the sport auto, but I never expected this car would be as much fun to drive as it is, if I had it to do over again, I would strongly consider getting the manual and my next car (probably a 6 down the line) will in all likelyhood be a manual. I drove a 6s this past weekend with the 5 speed and oh do I ever wish I had one.
