  • auto 92 olds cutlass ciera

  • auto 99 grand am

  • manual 300zx ( :frowning: )

  • manual EF civic hatch ( :frowning: )

side note:

i think i’m the only board member (other than you really old losers that had 4 speed stick muscle cars back in the day) to have owned a 4 speed stick car…and a 4 speed stick import at that.

i’ll never forget the first few times driving it trying to get into a 5th gear that didn’t exist just out of habit…was quite startling to have no such gear exist and have the shifter just not move lol

I will never own an automatic car EVER again. (with the exception of a CL benz.)

In order of purchase, I still own all of them but the 1994 Camry.

1992 Camry V6 - MT
1994 Camry Coupe - AT (Sold because I realized how much I hate AT)
1981 Celica - MT
1983 Supra - AT (and I hate it. But it was in a good condition and they dont come around everyday)

I’ve only owned 2 autos.

My 04 grand cherokee. and my 06 gti.

GTI was dsg though…

4 cars, only one of them manual. For a fun/sports car, Ill never drive anything else. = 25%

1993 Dodge Shadow
1998 Plymouth neon
2001 Chevy Blazer
2006 STI

Meh stick is fun is the car is quick and handles well…

Stick in a slow DD is worthless…This became very apparent in DC traffic 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours on the way home.

50% for me…I doubt I will ever own another stick DD unless we never get winter again in Buffalo and I drive a C6 year round.

no you arent. my sentra was a 4 speed. i later converted it to 5-speed when the 4 speed went.

4/7 have been standard

1996 Mitsubishi Galant S - Auto
2003 Pontiac Grand Am V6 - Auto
2002 Ford Focus - Manual
1977 Pontiac Trans Am 400 - Auto
1999 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 - Manual
2003 Kia Rio - Manual
2001.5 Volkswagen Jetta TDI - Manual

I’ve actually probably owned more 4speeds than 5, all my old VWs and my Benz. I bought my Accord and was thrilled to have a 5-speed again. It even has the 5-speed badge on the back, and “Power Steering” on the steering wheel badge, old school!
