Actually, even without it, using the e-brake makes hills a non-factor. |

I was good about holding the clutch/gas steady on hills. It's not good for the clutch, though. |
Manual. But most of South Dakota is flat.

I remember when they came out with 4-speed automatics(AOD)in the 80s.
My car has a 6-speed automatic. Not sure why. Fuel economy, most likely. Very little shift shock. Plus, at 80mph the engine is only running at 2500 RPMs. |
6 speed manual in my Subaru. Only time I don't like it is in heavy traffic. Even then it doesn't bother me so much... I just feel like I am wearing the hell out of the clutch.

If I bought a car that was just for fun, it would be a manual. Unfortunately, due to my line of work I require vehicles that are utilitarian in nature and driven primarily in heavy city traffic, so they're automatics.

Used to have a 2005 GTO, manual.
Sold it because I have a little boy now. I miss having the torque to downshift into 3rd and pass almost anybody at will. Some day, I will buy a Challenger and it will of course be a stick shift. |

Most every manual iteration of any car I look at is faster than its automatic counterpart. |
As a teen and twentysomething, manual. AS a old fart, automatic.

Not so much anymore. Take a peek at the new Mustang 5.0 the auto is consistently 3-4 tenths quicker. The new autos are wicked efficient. |
