    if it were just a daily driver and I never towed with it then the a manual would be ok, but get stuck in bumper to bumper traffic on a hill or going up a bridge pulling a trailer and you WILL burn up your clutch or back into the car behind you and at a boat ramp you will roll back into the water at some point with a manual. not to mention the acquired learned skill of pressing on the brake and gas at the same time letting out on the e-brake without stalling or lurching forward into the car in front of you.

    I would prefer stick, but my daughter refuses to drive stick. That's when the auto came in.
