I learned on a manual and most of my cars have been manual shift also. For me it was a no brainer. 5 speed all the way. Besides, everyone knows that real men shift gears!!!

 

Auto when your in florida and traffic is always bad.

 

I know what you mean. I had issues being on 95 in south florida. Plenty of traffic.

 

I find it quite interesting that we have to pay an extra $1000.00 to get an automatic (Manual Tranny is standard), when statistics prove that more people purchase a vehicle that has an automatic tranny.

Shouldn't an Automatic be the standard transmission format, and if you really need or want a 5 speed manual, you should pay the extra $1000.00 for it?

 

5 speed all the way! Every car that I've daily driven have been sticks, my wife always get the auto. However, she enjoys the hhr tranny enough that she steals it from me time to time. I gotta start gettin up earlier

 

We purchased an automatic, but since then we purchased a car with a stick for the wife. Well the wife didn't like the stick so we had to purchase another vehicle with an automatic. So you can bet your sweet bippy the next HHR we buy is going to be a stick and then she won't want to drive it. Many thanks for getting me thinking. My question to you all knoe is do I want to drive the HHR or do I want to be HAPPY, and I'm sure you all know what I really mean.

See ya down the road.

Buy One of Each = Drive the HHR and be Happy

 

Im too lazy. Auto for me!!

 

Rheumatoid arthritis made the decision for me - automatic.

 

It's like that on just about every vehicle. All three of the brand new cars I have bought I had to pay extra for an automatic. You pay more for an auto because they cost more to make seeing as how they are more complicated and have more parts.
