    I went from driving a mazda 3 (manual) to a Sante fe (automatic) and really regretted it. I recently bought my first Tacoma and got a manual and am extremely happy with it. Makes it so much more fun to drive.

    This. The more I drive the truck, the more I hate the down shifting. I know I can just flip it from D to 4 and back and it will shift up, but I end up slamming the hell out of it cause I'm pissed off that it even did it in the first place. No need to down shift every time I touch the brakes. I'm seriously considering trading for a 6 speed if I can find one. May even go to the 2.7...

    high voltage taco: I have a buddy that lives down your way. We went to forestry school together here in WV and ended up working for the same company. I ended up at the office close to home and he ended up down there. Way he talks it sounds like a really nice place.
