Only when i am sleepy and in traffic. I love having a stick and I think you loose some of the sports car experience with an auto.

Auto's are boring...plus it limits the number of people wanting to drive your car. (Read as follows: Your girlfriend, little sister, kid brother, cousin, neighbor, friends with 4 accidents, and others wont ask to drive it when they find out its a stick)...of course some of that list may be able to drive a stick so just tell em NO.
On Topic...its great. Have owned mine for 4 yrs and drove it everyday in Los Angeles traffic. 405, 10 etc and even in stop and go traffic I would not give it up for an auto. Just my 2 cents.

not really. After a while its becomes second nature and you dont ever realize your doing it. The only time it got annoyin whas when I has to drive to work every day in BAD traffic, I was on and off the clutch every 2 sec. It suced cuz i had a really stiff clutch. By the end of that summer my left calf mussle was like 3 times the size of my rite one

Everyone told me i'd hate it too and I'd wish I didn't have it...I love it. Like others said, it becomes second nature and you don't even think about when to shift, what gear to go into, etc, you just know it. I wouldn't have an auto stang or performance car period. I once raced a fox w/ heads, cam, intake, 3.73's, headers, etc in my stock 5.0 and smoked him by like 4 or 5 lengths because his was an Auto.
You might get sick of it, it's really whether or not if you like driving a stick not. When I bought my car, I couldn't even drive a stick very well, but I had driven my bro's ranger 5 speed and I knew I wanted a 5 speed stang. Everything has it's disadvantages, but I think, in this case, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages...

Performance minded the stick blows the auto away. Night and day. And I love driving my stick around the city. Where's the fun and having a high performance auto street car?
Good thing you came and asked on here first. You have to take in account who is telling you you'll get tired of driving a stick. What do they drive, how do they drive? For the A to B driver who rather have more cup holders than cylinders, an auto is a plus so they can drink coffee, talk on the phone, do thier makeup, and maby even read a book.
A built auto is nothing to be compared with a stock auto. I wouldn't mind a built C4 with a 3K stall, trans brake, and a manual valve body. But a stock slushbox auto, NO. I like to drive my car, and that includes shifting.
