Well and truly aware. It's the feeling that I miss most though. :(

I like to use for engine braking.

just the feel the whole drive line is connected.

in saying that, id have an auto behind an 8.

I prefer manual, that's why I learnt to drive in one however I will give autos one thing, they are very convenient.

I couldn't drive manual for a very long time, that's why I had to sell my Lancer and in that time I became very lazy.

I don't have to clutch in, or worry about changing gears when someone slams their breaks in front of me

I can eat, drink and programme my GPS while driving- I just slap her in auto and WA-LA.

If I was to sprain my ankle, break my leg or smash my pelvis (the reason I had to sell my car) I can keep driving.

Driving means everything to me, I actually think I would die if I had my drivers licence taken off me because its my freedom.

For a dual track/road car I think a worked tiptronic is the way to go. Best of both worlds.

As a daily I'd just go an auto, who really gives a flux when you have to stop every 30 metres for a red light.

For a track car, manual all the way.

I've had manual cars until I first busted up my left knee. Manual became impossible, especially in my first car. Cable actuated clutch, 5 ceramic button solid centred disc with 2200lb clamping force pressure plate...

After the 2nd time I busted it I bought an auto. I still had a manual play car, just not a daily.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
