Re: manual.v.auto (prelude1897)
auto 5th gen = time bomb
manual 5th gen = possibly outlive you.
redline vs. 2700econo-shift./ lag in SS
having a car ur mom probably cant drive vs. ur mom running errands on it.
babe magnet vs. dude magnet
I'm not telling u the manuals are BETTER, but sportshift sucks.
now with all that being said, auto does have its advantages, its easier to learn in and easier to park steep hills.

Thats a question asked by someone who has never driven a car.....
Well-earned
You decide though: Stock Auto 5th gen runs 16's and a Stock Manual 5th gen is more than a second faster.......

Re: manual.v.auto (DfwBB6)
I like flaming n00bs.....I love FLAMING n00bs with screen-names that involve slang like KILLA or IZZLE.
What ever happened to that JDIZZLE! punk.....I think I scared him off! Either that or changed screen name to avoid constant flaming!

Lets hope he's the type of person who gives into peer pressure and/or listens to all the five speed suggestions.

Re: manual.v.auto (mkilla1214)
Sometimes I love my auto, sometimes I dont. Its not really a time bomb. My 5th gen has 165k miles on the original motor and tranny, and I drive it hard. Get whatever is convenient to you. I'm in the process of selling my auto to probably get a 5spd one, but I'm gonna miss being lazy with the auto.
Re: manual.v.auto (Simple_Sauce)
^ Thats what I thought .. until one day the light went green, I pushed in the gas and the car didnt move lol. Save yourself the thousands of dollars now and just go with a 5speed.

Re: manual.v.auto (preludeh22a1)
My auto is VERY convenient especially since I don't have a cup holder, but it gets really boring. I plan to swap it for the 5 speed pretty soon. I just feel much safer with a more reliable manual. I hate watching it shift at around 6400 when I know it can do so much more :'(

I read it correctly the 1st time. It was just a stupid question.

Re: manual.v.auto (mkilla1214)
I can rape any 5spd Prelude in my automatic any day! Auto all the way!
Of course I'm only joking. I wouldn't drive anything but a 5spd. It's faster, more reliable, looks cooler, and gets better gas mileage. What can beat that?
