    This has been my experience with pretty much every car I've ever owned. I've never had an auto in my primary vehicle, a few in work trucks and farm trucks etc.

    If I was to buy a 3rd gen, I would order a manual. The manual is worth the wait, plus most Tacomas I see that have stood the test of time are manual transmissions, few are automatics if the owner took care of the truck and changed the fluid.

    Good afternoon ladies and gents. I am a tranny lover and I can't get enough of my stick. :)

    I honestly just love the being able to shift and feel my engine. :)

    An engine in its most primary form is a robot. It's metal and oil and do dads. To me a manual is a controlled robot, I drive it. An automatic is a non controlled robot, it drives you.

    I swear I'm not weird.

    It's officially hijacked. .. partially by my own hand. So, first person that drives a manual 2016 please post up a new thread with your first impressions so all us manual tranny lovers can hear about it. Cheers!

    As far as CAFE goes though it is irrelevant if we believe it or not, adding more manuals to the fleet won't help a manufacturer with CAFE since it depends on the EPA rating :(

    Obviously the driver has a huge impact on mileage, and probably more so with a manual rather than an auto...
