If you like and are used to driving a stick, then get one. However, I have owned both--the GT 5-speed and GT Autostick--and, the Autostick is the best of two worlds IMHO! [8)] [8D]

Now, now Gary. I've also driven both and that's why I chose the stick. While the autostick is nice and convienient you still share control with the computer. I love flying through the gears in a straight line but the best is flying in fifth gear, throwing it into 3rd gear entering a turn, punching it out of the turn into 4th gear, back to 3rd into the next turn, gassing it hard out of the turn and back into 4th gear, and then finally regaining my common sense I slip it into fifth. That is an S turn I take back and forth to work. I'm a mean green shifting machine [8)] doing it my way and that can't be duplicated by an autostick. Now I drive a lot of country roads and freeway so I have opportunities to really control my stick and gravitate toward heavy rushes of adrenalin when I choose to. Luckily it's only on rare occasions I get stuck in bumper to bumper traffic where a stick can be a PITA.....The debate continues which is better.....stick.....autostick.....stick.....autos tick.....stick.....
