[quote=Anonymous]Have been driving standard transmission for decades and, no, I don't think it makes me a better driver. But it does give me more control over the car, especially when I need to make that little car accelerate quickly and I do like that. OTOH the one time we had an automatic transmission, it was nice to be able to drink a cup of coffee while in traffic. On the third hand, since we moved near a metro stop, I don't drive to work at all so drinking coffee in the car is irrelevant. Also I should add that, back in the day, when I was a young'n :-), the word on standard transmission cars was that they were cheaper to buy, run, and fix. I don't think that's true anymore. Basically you should buy whatever you enjoy and not try to convince people that one type of car or another makes you a better person/driver![/quote]
