What do you drive?

I drive a 97 Ford Thunderbird - Automatic. I have owned 2 manuals (Honda Civic and Saturn SL2) and enjoyed power-shifting.

I have a friend who bought a 2006 Corvette that gets over 500 hp and he bought an automatic!!! If you're going to get a standard in any car it would be that one.

Getting 47+ MPG in the city makes it a safe bet.

Fair enough - mine is 32 MPG. But what are you driving? A hybrid? I doubt it is the transmission that is giving such gas mileage.

Even now for most cars manuals still give better mileage. A friend with a similar Hyundai Elantra (2003) gets around 4 MPG less than I do.

Yup, a Toyota Prius.

I own a 2006 Mercedes-Benz 350 SLK, it was on the lot with auto, so I bought it, some of my friends dog me about having this car in an automatic, but hey, it is fast and I got a good deal!
