manual all the way
all the other cars I owned before the pro5 were automatic this is definitely the most fun.
However, I am currently stuck with a Toyota Echo rental car because someone decided to hit my car while it was parked on the street. It's auto and by the way it sucks never buy one. Pictures are in another thread.

it's interesting to see here that everyone drives a manual and yet more then 85% of the north american population drive an automatic.
looks like most of protege owners drive a manual.
i think we drive our cars for the fun handling ,we appreciate and love our cars
we dont consider the car as just transportation as most people do but something to be enjoyed and driven hard.

Hi! I'm new to this forum. I drive an automatic.. only because i never learned stick.. my boyfriend would yell at me everytime I tried. Though I would agree that my car ( 2002 protege ES) would be so much more fun to drive it was a manual

I drive a stick. Little faster, better gas milage and just easier to keep Rpm's in the powerband of the 2.0L engine. My sister has an auto and it is not that bad. Does on okay job with up and down-shifting given from the drivers throttle response.
