it's crazy to get a car like the wrx and get an auto trans, unless you don't care about performance. but then, why would you be in this forum?

people like to use that excuse about driving in heavy traffic, but i drive in very heavy traffic everyday, and it's not a big deal at all. i think it's easier, because i can coast in my gear and not have to brake all the time like all the auto cars. the only thing i wouldn't recommend if you have a manual and drive in heavy traffic a lot is a high performance clutch ,because it's harder to slip, and a flywheel, because you lose engine braking capability.

it just seems odd to build up a car to go fast, but it's an automatic. no matter what the argument is, you will gain time on the 1/4 mile over a manual car. oh, and don't ever use the excuse that you don't know how to drive a stick shift car...it takes a few minutes to learn. have fun!
