Had one automatic in my long life-never again-now have 2 PT's with 5 speeds(spouse constantly borrowing mine went out and got his own). I have dragraced against other PT's and have won with just the 5speed in my favor while the others had all kinds of gadgets. And i was the first at the dealer to order the manual! I want to DRIVE not just ARRIVE!!! There used to be rumors that American carmakers would get rid of manual trannies for all but the most basic of cars...thank goodness there are enough of us to keep them from making that huge mistake. And, my father had the same thought-all kids must drive the manual then we could choose when we got our own and I will be doing the same.
