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! --------------------  |

I've driven an automatic GT and it's not that sluggish. The tranny actually felt pretty sporty for an auto.
That said, I would definitely go with a manual. I've driven manual STs and GTs, and they both are far better than the auto versions. I've never liked the way the S-54(GT tranny) feels at all, but I've only driven a '94 Celica GT and a '00 Camry with them...maybe it was just those two cars. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
