What do you have? Automatic or 5 Speed Tranny?

Looking at 'hyperv6's" posted 2008 production numbers, I noticed only around 5% of all HHR's came with "5" Speed transmissions. It got me wondering how many on the forum had them. If so were you happy with the tranny you have?

I my self have the "5" speed and wouldn't think about an automatic.

Automatic. Hell, I'm old and grouchy. The majority of my vehicles have been manuals, but the last one convinced me that my days of a stick shift as my daily driver were over. That clutch was murder on my bursitis. So now I haul my old, fat arse around with an automatic.

No, you're right! It sucks! But, hey, it beats the alternative, right?

Tell you what, while I sit my young body down and drive my 5-speed, I think about it and let you know in about twenty years.

How very generous and considerate of you.
