Feel free to ask any question. This is a forum, i dont get why people get overdramatic over these question.

Manual is 10x more fun than an auto. You feel a connection with your car that you just dont get with autos and paddleshifters. It makes you excited to drive your car because shifting gears is an experience that rarely gets old. Ive been driving manual for a long time and it makes me appreciate driving a bit more, when i rent automatic cars for work trips i feel like the fun is sucked out of driving.
Of course if you live in a hilly area or constantly in traffic, MT will suck. But if thats not an issue, get a manual.

I love manual transmission so much that if i was given a choice of an automatic lambo/ferrari or a cheap manual car (mustang, civic, camaro, etc...). Id choose the manual in a heartbeat lol.

Just curious, the combined fuel economy of the manual ecoboost is 26 mpg, and for the ecoboost automatic it's 25 mpg.

Are people finding out that to be accurate or better or worse since we are talking autos vs manuals here?

Everyone to there own but if auto drivers are more interested in efficiency than being connected to the car, why don't they wait for driverless cars?

It's a sports car.

Why would anyone want an auto in a sports car?

Nothing better then bangin' the gears and chirpin' the tires.

I think both are great, but I've never been asked by anyone if it was an automatic. Been asked by a lot of passersby if it was a manual.

Porsche are moving to manual, like the Cayman Gt4 which you can only buy in manual.

Mustangs are Grand Touring cars, not a sport car. More in the lines of a Bentley continental.
