I had a whack typed for this but whatever. An auto is more initially but it's cheaper in the long-run because it's cheaper to flush/fill an auto than it is to replace a clutch.

I've owned and driven standard transmission cars for almost 30 years, and I've never had to replace a clutch. :iono:

I've never had to replace the clutch in any of my cars with 5 speed. it's about a 10%-15% increase in the CAFE, even the Government says so, along with the MPG written on the sticker of a new car. Plus if you know how to drive a stick you can drive just about anything. Also I Know this as I've had an Auto and a 5 Speed Focus.
