Automatic vs Manual

boostedCO · Feb 16, 2015

I had a hard time finding manual ecoboost in Houston with minimal upgrades. I wanted close to base to keep the cost down so I ended up going auto which im ok with.

6 motorcycles (300k+ miles), 17 cars (11 manuals) I know my way around a gearbox. Sold, arguably the best manual gearbox car I've had (MX5) to get an auto GT (ordered). Motorcycle/deer collisions tend to leave a few reminders. Got broken in half and honestly the auto is something I'm ready for.

All three of my mustangs are manual. I just love dropping a gear or two on the highway and letting the pipes sing!

Automatic. Would love a manual but not willing to roll the dice on the MT82.

the MT82 has come along way from 2011

I live in the NYC area and want maximum reliability so I went with auto.

I like having the option to not have to shift gears after a 10 hour day at the office and a 40-45 mile drive home.

One of the reasons to buy a manual. Get to row through the gears and get some aggression out.

Thats 1980's thinking.

I own a 2015 GT PP w/Manual (obviously), but as soon as Ford replaces the old 6R80 6-speed automatic with something better (more gears with faster shifts), I'll trade my current baby off without hesitation, as I prefer an automatic.

plenty of cars and trucks in my family that went well over 150k miles with only the clutch needing to be replaced, cant say the same for automatics. Manual transmission are much easier to repair also

You should take a look at the Transmission & Drivetrain forum sometime. Might change your tune.

Auto here. Only know how to drive an Auto and after some research there seems to be a bit of issues with the MT-82. :S

Traffic here in South FL isn't that great either, basically stop and go before 9:00-10:00 PM :

Auto. Recovering from Achilles tendon surgery and still living with chronic pain. A manual just isn't practical.
