5 speeds are great on open roads. but when you get in town and you have to shift gears every few seconds it annoys the **** out of me.. so yea i'd drive a auto befor 5 speed. plus in my town the redlights are 2 close together by the time you get to 3rd - 4th gear your down shifting again to start over only thing i like about them is the power gain you get and the extra 5mpg you get out of them are great also so i dont have nothen against 5 speeds

 

AU-TO-MATIC!! lol I wouldn't mind having a stick though, of course I'd have to learn to drive it then too.
