How do we know if you will like driving an automatic? Personally I'd buy a 6mt. The 06 has good updates over the 05. Very good cars.

well i really like the idea of shifting when i want too i could do that with the tiptonic but i dont know how healthy that would be to keep driving it in tiptonic and i herd there very slow when automatic and just not as fun to drive

I have a 08 auto and I never shift it, so it's like driving any other auto for me. When I do shift it, it's doesn't feel any faster or better or anything like a manual transmission. Get a manual if you want it to be sporty.

Yeah, don't shift with the tiptronic. It really doesn't help anything. Hold out for a MT then.

Tiptronic is useless but if you're like me and stuck in traffic quite often, the auto / tiptonic is the way to go. I've had stick shifts and automatics and I love not having to shift in traffic.

Auto all the way for me - it's basically a pretty Accord with a k24. If you want sporty, get an Rsx
