I'm looking to get a new mustang, but receiving conflicted responses on whether I should get an automatic or manual.
I don't know how to drive a manual, but have someone willing to teach me, however my '05 is an auto and have heard, "OMG, you got a Mustang in an automatic?!" as if it's some type of blasphemy.
As I understood it, autos shift faster than manuals, but I'm being told manuals are more powerful. Then again, people are also saying the opposite. Some are even saying, "honestly, it boils down to preference."
So is one more powerful or better than the other? Obviously an automatic is gonna be a bit more, so if I could, I'd rather go manual (and if it has more power, then great!).
Powerful as in... I don't wanna gimp my car. If I'm gonna be spending money on a GT then I wanna get as much out of it as I can
(Not that I'll be driving fast and crazy all the time, but I'm sure you know what I mean)
Thanks so much in advance.
