Automatic or 5 speed...I,literally have 15 minutes

I have my dealer working hard...so,I had an auto on order but then wished I had the 6 speed, never had a stick, and this is my first Mustang....help,me decide. Time is limited..seriously.

Daily Driver = Auto

Track, Summer Car = Stick

It's actually a 6 speed and that's what I ordered.

Both are 6-speeds

I'd take an auto this time around. Hopefully the paddle shifters mean you can have fun when you want

is the Ecoboost 5 speed? i thought all of them were 6 speed... again, i may be wrong. but.. i have always preferred manual transmissions, regardless of driving reasons.

I bought my 03 mustang daily driver stick even though prior to that car i had never driven manual. I ordered a 2015 manual. I don't think you'll regret it. Tbh I can't even explain why, I cant say I've ever felt ive had an advantage or a benefit with it aside from it just being plain fun.

I live in central nj btw. It has a mix of highways and city driving and I never felt it to be a real burden even in the city

What do you mean you have your dealer working hard, what is the rush?

What about turbo lag on a manual?

Too long of a story, basically I live in small town, and had one on order since July.....I was told he had no idea when I would ever get mine. So they have a sister dealership they are trying to use in helping me.

Manual. Not even a question.

This is the only advantage of a manual, but it's the most important one depending on who you're talking to. ;)

Most are saying stick, can this old dog learn a new trick? Is it hard to get use to a stick, and will turbo lag be an issue on a stick.

1) no
2) you'd be hard pressed to notice if it's anything like the EB in the Focus ST. Is there lag technically speaking? Yeah. Will you notice it in daily driving? Not really.

Keep'em coming, almost time to call dealer.
