This what I dont understand the cars that are very close or better then a manual transmission are so out of most peoples price range, why even talk about it?.
Its not hard to drive stick its just hard to be a pro at it. Ive tought 5 people to drive it and comes in handy when Im not feeling good and my buddies going sober that night. The time you spend teaching your significant other will save you that extra $1500 or $3000 on a car that comes in manual.
I dont have anything against people driving autos, I understand some people use there cars for daily highway commutes and there is alot of traffic involved, not to mention some of us are older here and some have problems........understandable. But when some people come on and say they cant because they dont know how to and down want to learn, thats like saying "screw reading I can watch TV instead or have someone read it to me".
Another thing if you mod your auto, thats great, its your cup of tea, but dont come on here and tell us you wasted some guy on the street with your auto focus. Most of the people that have been around the board long enough know the difference between a stick and a auto, the sensation your getting is the same sensation you can get if you had a stock manual tranny......you need more then a exhaust and intake to make an auto faster.
Lets just say when your approaching a tight turn you can exactly tap the brakes downshift into second and power out of the turn...........and if you did drop it into 2 on your auto you and I know how much damage it would cause that thing.

I drive a 2010 Golf that growls at people when it goes over 3000rpm.
