Wish i got a stick int my tc when i am racing around, but that auto is nice when it's your everyday car in stop in go traffic for two hours to work with a hangover. Love my 4 speed in my "race car" though! wouldn't have it any other way.

 

Manual! I can't imagine driving an Auto tC!

Oh and don't listen to the people that say manual in the traffic sucks, its not that hard...

 

manual

 

hard isn't the prob ........................... being lazy like me is

 

I learned how to drive stick a week before I got my tC, i wanted to switch and actually have some fun driving, plus what kind of tuner would it be w/o a stick?

 

come on it's a sports car. drive a stick!

 

I hate to burst your bubble, but a tC is not a sports car.

On topic: I have a manual transmission.

 

Sports cars don't have rear seats

 

Manual all the way

 

sports coupe does NOT equal sports car

I voted manual tranny

 

Auto because I don't need to compensate for something. J/K

This is my daily commuter through traffic, so auto.

 

I will never again own an auto for my main vehicle until I am too old and have such bad arthritis(sp?) that I can't push in the clutch anymore.

 

I’ve personally only had automatics, my fiancé has a Cobra and I've driven several other manuals in my driving time …

I said after my Accord I’d definitely get a manual especially if I’m buying something new, but when it came to the TC, I’m sorry but there’s no way whatsoever I could imagine driving a stick in that.

I’m assuming a lot of you are coming from your civic/celica, other import and smaller cars which basically have the same size gear box. I got in the TC and started shift and OMG it’s retarded close. I know I'm very used to driving the Cobra, but I seriously don't think I could get used to gearbox in the TC. When I shift, I like to SHIFT and I just don’t feel I’m able to do that in this car …

I undoubtedly went with the automatic with this go around …

 

*bump* for all the new drivers/members

 

Manual is the only way to go.

(to the poster who siad come on its a sports car, we must have two totally different cars, because mine is no where near a sports car)

 

I drive an auto. There was only one on the lot, and it was my perferred color, but was an auto. I had intended to get a manual car for a new one, but i guess this worked out fine anywayz. My parents feel better with me driving an auto anywayz.

If i knew how to drive a manual i would've gone with that but i don't...shame on me right,lol.

 

hate drivin auto's, bit oh well....my ____in parents wants to drive my car too, and both of them doesnt know how to drive stick....

 

3+ hours a day in LA traffic. Auto.
When I want to feel manly, I take out one of the bikes.
I'll take on any of you that think the tC is a sports car and take out one plug on my bike first!

Sorry, but auto does not = unable to drive a stick.
When I get my Viper in 5 years, it will be a stick.

a couple things:

1. Compared to "Sports Cars" in the 60's, this thing blows them away in terms of performance. (a sports car in the 60's was 4 on the floor, two doors, leaky convertible top, and buzzy exhaust). I guess a modern sports car would be a 90's Viper or a new topless 911...

2. I'm disgusted that 5th gear lets the engine rev so high. This must be the first time ever in the history of automobiles that the standard version revved higher on the highway than the automatic version. I didn't realize that when I bought the car and might have chosen the auto for that reason. I hope someone comes out with a taller 5th gear to swap into my gearbox someday.

3. The SMG on the BMW M6 lays waste to all other gearboxes, period, and it's more or less an auto. Shifting is fun, but that SMG thing... wow.
