My car is a stick, and I love it. Our other car is a minivan which obviously is an automatic, and I hate driving that thing. Not just because of having to shift, but the whole feel of the thing.
I hate how you start moving as soon as you life your foot off the brake in an automatic. When I get into our van I always forget about that which ends up makes for an extremely jerky ride...especially when I try to use my left foot on the brake. I just hate the concept of not having to even press on the gas to back out of a parking spot or do slow maneuvers like that. I feel like I have so much more control in my car with the stick.
I learnt to drive a stick on my first car, which is the car I am still driving now. In the future I will definitly be buying sticks.
