Height and weight has nothing to do with manual.
Although you are the first person to admit why they bought an Auto.
Too bad the other 7AT guys don't have the balls to say the truth

I do.
2 months waiting for MT . no patience, However i regret that now because i did not know i was going to be waiting 3 months for my exhaust hahahha


I dont have a problem with automatic, Its fun in the right car.
Yes, the only thing manual is good at, is just the 'feel' i envy the feel and nothing else.
