All depends on how you drive the car and what you want to do with it.

Me..... Manual all the way.

Auto's have to be THE most boring things to drive!

You have such a better control over the vehicle..

Jumped into my mum's auto pulsar.. and almost smaked my head on the steering when when I tryed to heel and toe down by second nature

Had Auto for about 3-4months but converted it...........Manual for me.

[sxc33]

Auto for me.

Love it. Sure its easy to make the car behave a certain way when u shifting a manual, but i just love autos.

They are my thing

Yup Definatley

we have 2 r33 in our family mine and my sons mines a auto and i love it . it dosent get beat off the lights by much and many time's have left manual skylines with the same amount of mods sitting there scrabbling for traction while the auto just sqauts down and goes .

plus you have the benifit of driving it thru the gears if you wish . some of the manuals with puck clutches ect ect are a real pain to drive in the city .

[mesmerized]

autos are for motorists

manuals are for drivers

the only 2 occasions where i wish i drove an auto would be

1. driving long distances

2. when i'm stuck in bad traffic facing up a hill

Auto... worksfine for me.

My V35 is an auto (tiptronic), and I'm very happy with it. Very very nice gearbox, especially in manual mode.

The upshifts are very crisp, and on the downshift it has rev matching (kind of like blipping the throttle when down shifting in a manual)

The car is a daily driver in sydney traffic, which is why i went auto.

However, if I was planning engine mods (not worth it in a N/A car), and to track the car, I'd want nothing but manual.

Manual.

And if I HAVE TO drive an auto, it gets driven like a manual ie change down a gear before corners.

i bet half the manual guys have never driven a auto skyline and have no idea on just how much fun they can be .

[slo-a31]

+1

how many people have driven an auto thats been build properly?

I have a built C4 (Ford) auto in my Skyline & I must say it's the best of both worlds as it's fully manualised - you have to change gears (3 speed) as there is no D for drive. I guess there are some slight disadvantages over it compared to the control of a vehicle you have with a manual but I think they are outweighed by the advantages over this style of gearbox ie. no clutch hassles (driving or replacing), is super-quick off the mark, is suitable both on the street or drag-strip & has not let me down yet - have not had to spend a cent on replacing anything as it can handle 800hp - in the 2 years I have had it built.

By far the built auto is the ultimate gearbox - in my opinion. But I guess for my use - street & drag - it makes sense. If others are more into track or drifting then definitely manual would be the go. Like anything everyone has there own personal preference.

Driving a manual is so much more fun than auto, and you have much better control over the car. Auto is no fun, just put the foot down thats it....
