    Default Manual or auto?

    I drive auto, but I can drive manual. Wife only drives auto though...
    For those of you who switch between operating auto and manual vehicles, please vote for whichever one you drive more often.

    Drive auto. Can't see how anyone can stand being in a traffic jam with a manual.

    Yeah, I must say that's one thing I absolutely do NOT miss about driving manual, and that's driving in rush hour! <shudder> But under normal traffic conditions I do miss manual. Also, manual driving gives you gooderer driving skills IMO - so even if you drive auto, if you have previous manual driving experience it helps. My wife's never driven manual and erm... yeah... *cough*

    In Sydney 'normal driving conditions' is a traffic jam. The only time where you can drive normally is the middle of the night. Even on a Sunday morning I have been caught in traffic jams.

    I chose to drive an auto for that reason, when I first bought a car, I was constantly driving in peak hour to work.

    Definitely a manual for me. I don't think it's possible for anyone who has never learnt to drive manual to be a decent driver.
