Hey I wanted to hear what the manual drivers had to say about having a manual car and going from sando to pos ( mon - friday )
Should I go manual or auto ?

my car's manual. in the morning it's fun. trust me. but i'm in POS 5-5.30 for the latest.
in the evening, i deal with it, up till lights before caroni, then i get to continue enjoying my car.
helps, that my clutch is rather soft, very low, and can move vehicle without having to give gas.

I have a hard clutch and go from Cunupia to town everyday and back.

If you are a nookie, then buy the automatic.

manual + light weight flywheel = pressure in traffic...

standard manual = no problemo...

in my book it depends on the time you will be in and out of POS. if its traffic times, the novelty of a clutch can wear out real fas when your left foot is on a clutch for 2hrs. if you just goin to drive to and from work and small runs otherwise then i say auto for convenience.
