Manual....because I didn't want to give GM an extra $1,000 to take away a huge part of the driving experience.

Most of my cars are/have been manual. Plus less people ask if they can drive my car since they cant drive stick, lol. And its more fun to drive. Nothing wrong with an auto though!

Manual. I love driving a stick. Been doing it for over 11 years in all 3 of our daily drivers and wouldnt change it for the world. There is just no better feeling to me than the feeling of sheer power underneath my hand. Also Auto Transmissions have far more problems than manuals. As Tech's almost every transmission or transaxle we work on is an auto. We see maybe a handful manuals in a year. Manuals are also soooo much easier to work on. Far less parts.
And besides my left leg looks GREAT! lol
