Well being the 4th largest city in the US traffic can be a slight problem at times, and this is my mothers biggest reason for wanting me to get an automatic. Keep in mind I understand how to drive an Automatic, and would need to learn to drive a stick but these are my reasons thus far
1. Have more control of the car
2. Take off easier (helps because i live near a freeway)
3. Keep my mind on the road
4. Keeps me from using phone/eating in my car while driving
5. more fun
Vrooom!
6. Rumors of better gas mileage
7. a few thousand dollars cheaper
1 to 2 but hey anything helps!
However as I said the traffic ive heard could be a problem... i was wondering if anyone here has used a manual transmission in similar traffic situations and I was wondering how they felt about it. (Im in high school so traffic wouldnt be a huge issue... not really until i get older and work/go to college)
