    Really like my Prerunner 5-speed! Really, it's all about your personal preference, and the type of driving you do. Me, I'm strange- I even like stick when driving in traffic... it forces me to chill out a bit :rolleyes: But some people would get frustrated with a M/T if they do a lot of city driving, or off-roading...
