I currently have both (03 6MT and 05 5AT) and I'll say I miss the stick a bit and find myself jamming my left foot into the floor every now and again but the tiptronic (with an SGP in this case) shifts fine. Most will flame ya for buying an auto but seriously it's a very quick shift and you can force it up and down the gears, redline, etc...

why are you so defensive? you know people are stupid yet it's like it's your mission to battle ever single auto hater on this board. I see you responding on almost every single manual vs auto thread nonstop calling people ignorant for thinking manual is better than auto. If you know that's not the case then just let it be. Or are you so insecure about driving an auto that even though you (and I) know manual isn't always better than auto that you have to repeatedly respond in this manner? Just let it be son, you'll never change everyone's minds so stop spamming every single thread in the same way. It's getting irritating.

why are the 6MT people so offensive? you say i am defensive yet you responded on the offensive, singling me out for saying it is stupid for the MT owners to constantly bash the 5AT when others have done the same. way to go you. and do not call me son, i am not your son so do not go there.

Seriously now, IT'S UP TO YOU. Factors such as age, attitude, prevailing driving
conditions in your area, health conditions (knee or ankle trouble?), etc., should be considered when choosing an automobile & the options it offers. At 59, ain't NO ONE on planet earth that'll make me get a 6MT!!! NO WAY! MY creature comforts are more appreciated than ever, especially with the driving conditions at P.R.! Be a good chooser, dude!!! BTW, there ARE gays who DO own MTs!!! That's just a myth/macho legend. Ignore the chauvinists!
