How sluggish is the Automatic tranny when compared to the stick???? Any issues with the auto?? I'm a manual tranny guy by heart and won't flinch at changing a clutch, but when it comes to the slushbox, that's uncharted territory. Plus sticks are more fun to drive.
Thanks everyone! --------------------  |

Hmmm......so it's not THAT bad. My only thing about it is that I love driving a stick. It's just more fun. I do a lot of driving, about 25000 miles a year, and my daily commute is 50 miles in the morning and 35 in the evening (different way home). The morning is all highway, with some stop and go at a VERY congested section. The evening is all back roads with a lot of slower traffic, but averages about 45 MPH. I have no problem driving a stick through that (of the cars that I normally drive right now ALL are sticks) and originally entertained the thought of an auto.
