    Well I understand the need for an automatic if you drive in traffic. If I ever have to commute to a place where there is always going to be traffic, then I guess I will buy an Automatic.

    That's why I like my auto, since it's my daily driver. Plus, with rush hour and frequent city driving, it's a blessing.

    I understand that completely, however, my dad has been driving a stick since about the age of 14 or so he claims. To my knowledge he has never owned an automatic. He also commuted from Phillips Ranch, CA to Los Angeles every weekday for 15 years. Which on a good day would take an hour. But the traffic has gotten worse in recent years so I think if I was still living there he would have a change of heart.

    I have an automatic too, 3 gears of fury on my 94. Planning on a manual transmission swap when I get my other engine (hopefully the middle of the next fall).

    I'm an auto fan thru and thru...I've driven every kind of manual Toyota from a 4 to a 6 speed and i was not impressed with any of them. The shift quality was poor to mediocre on all. Like Mercedes, I think Toyota makes better autos than manuals. That said my upcoming Corolla is a 4speed auto.
