Roll Call! Who drives a MANUAL transmission?

[Nick McKees37]

I've been driving vehicles with manual transmissions exclusively for over 8 years now. Every time I drive an automatic I can't help but feel like I'm a passenger.

Yeah yeah yeah, there's the PDK from Porsche and the DSG from VW, but if it doesn't have 3 pedals I don't want to hear about it.

I'm curious which AGO members drive a manual every day. I guess a garage queen counts too. ;)

I here you nick, I would get bored real quick with an auto transmission. been driving manual transmission for over 20+ years and like to have the feeling of the car if that makes any sense...

My garage queen is a manual.

My daily is a DSG7. I still love DSG transmissions and I'm constantly driving it in "manual" mode.

Been driving manual for 20 years, but I think my next car will be an automatic, seems car makers are swaying away from them.

[SYMAWD]

Me. I drive automatics all day at work. Occasionally there's a manual.

Manuals Forever!! IMO they make driving fun.

Sure some Dual Clutch Autos, automatic and PDK's might be quicker in shifting, however, are BORING once you drive stick.

I crack up about autos being able to "BLIP" the throttle when going in a lower gear. That is the computer doing that.

For manual users that's called heal and toe downshift. If the car has only 2 Pedals then that is called an automatic to me.

Manual all the way!!

I call it heel/toe because I'm not healing anyone. :righton:

and I agree with you too.

I am also a manual driver. When i drive the wifey's auto i find myself putting my right hand on the shift lever whenever approaching a stop light! Doh!!!

[Nick McKees37]

I'm glad you thought it was funny because I actually laughed out loud when I read his response. :laughing:

I'm thrilled to see so many manual drivers here! :righton:
