I like automatics.

Sticks are fun, but unless I am buying a Mustang it will be an automatic.

Auto makes me fall asleep at the wheel.

I'm not biased against either, but manuals win out in the end.

If it's a vehicle thats almost always a DD driving around city, stop and go traffic, then auto is alot more comfortable. Everything else should be manual.

I have nothing against either, but i don't have feeling in my left leg from the knee down so auto for me. i just don't feel safe with a standard but can drive one if needed..

Auto For Traffic. Stick for Everything else.

I love manuals, but autos are nice for a daily driver.

Manuals I like for something I like to corner in, being able to pick your gear when going into a turn, and being able to rev-match when downshifting is nice. For drag racing I like autos.
