5-speed vs. AT question

[MikeV]

If you tow anything I would suggest auto,

had both 5sp and auto;

Love my autotragic slushbox! 5 speed if you don't have a radio (ya may get bored!-)

 

Plus it keeps the pimphand free for keeping the wife in line.

Just my .02 here: I believe that the autos are PAINFULLY slow in terms of acceleration and maintaining speed on hills. I would get a 5-speed if you could. Gas mileage would be better and there's a good chance they will be more reliable. I've read that autos start to wear out at around 130K.

 

Oh, and that reply should be of more significance since I have an auto.

GOD YES. I got mine at 160,000 mi. and it's had 3, yes, THREE transmissions in it.
