Did you order a Manual or Automatic?

[DivineStrike]

Like the title says. Also, please say why you chose one or the other.

For example: "I love manuals", or "Automatics are better for the strip" or "I can't drive a manual anymore due to injuries, so I got an Automatic".

Thanks for playing


I got a manual because well I love manuals


Edit: Damnit can a Mod please fix the lowercase "t" in GT please. That is gonna bug me.

Manual GT, because this is my fun car

 

[TakeMyMoneyFord]

Auto GT, too much damn traffic and crazy drivers in LA

GT Manual because there isnt another way to get my first mustang!

 

[ThreeHunnaStunta]

Ecoboost Manual because holding my girls hand while driving is over rated..

 

[Murdered Out Pony]

Manual GT PP because of course!

GT automatic... two back surgeries. Pressing the clutch aggravates my sciatic nerve and I don't want to have a third. Although the 8 weeks off of work is nice. ;)

Loved the manual transmission on my 2010 GT and all my other GTs from 1996 down to my 1979 5.0 model. I didn't buy the 6-speed manual on my 2011 5.0 GT because of the new skip shift function Ford added to the transmission (that's where the shifter will only go from First to Fourth if you shift within a certain speed range). The 2011 auto GT was fun, but I really missed the added fun of manual shifting. I chose the auto in my 2013 GT/CS because of some of the issues I was hearing a few folks were having with the manual shifter and I thought the skip shift feature was still there (I later learned that Ford eliminated skip shift beginning with the 2013s). Anyway, I'm ready to enjoy a manual transmission again in the 2015. I hear the new shifter is improved and there is no skip shift!

Manual GT PP. It'll be a garage queen anyway, so might as well row my own as well for the "full" experience. Really enjoyed it on my '11 after the issues were worked out.

GT Premium manual. I suspect a poll like this on a Mustang forum will be skewed towards manual transmission. Majority on Mustang enthusiast will probably opt for manual.

 

[DivineStrike]

Agreed, I made it a poll as we hadn't had one for transmission yet. I'd like this thread to be more for fun than trying to get a statistic, hence discussing your reasoning behind your decision.

Current GT is an auto (my 1st auto).
Although it is very easy to drive, imo the fun factor is just not there for me.
My '15 GT Premium on order is manual/PP.

I agree with TakeMyMoneyFord, traffic in So Cal sucks! I went with automatic ONLY because of the SelectShift. Last manual I had I got muscle spasms in my left leg from traffic!
