I knew a guy that proclaimed to know how to drive manual (and all the associated techniques), but he never owned any manual cars and in the 3 years I knew him, I never saw him drive an MT. So finally a buddy and I put him behind the wheel of a 5MT accord (VERY easy to drive). After much teasing, he finally got in and he couldn't make it down the street....

I've had my share of each. When I was shopping the 370 for almost a year before I purchased I test drove nothing but the MT. But traffic here is so horrendous I couldn't fathom actually buying one. And I wasn't impressed with it so I never pulled the trigger. Then one cool March evening last year I waltzed in to the dealer again. They had a few ATs on the lot. Sales guy convinced me to at least try it. So I did. And I signed the papers an hour later. No real regrets. Just wish it didn't sound like an auto. At least it still kicks ***.
