its like saying everyone in the world would rather be rich then happy...
didnt they sorta sovle the whole automatic vs manual idea by making trip tronic gearboxes? i've never actually driven one but they cant be all that bad.
auto's i think would be better in city's due to the whole lesser maintinace factor. alot of stoping and staring in city, means your clutch is gonna get a work put and so will your thermal fan.

Tiptronic is CRAP! I've driven one (7 speed in a honda Jazz, padel shift on the steering wheel). I've heard other people say that tiptronic is crap in sports cars too (specificaly in the Mitsubishi FTO).
It's just like manualy selecting your gears in a standard auto (which I do in almost every auto I drive an auto, so that I don't go mad and climb out my window at traffic lights and try to make out with hot chicks in their car to keep myself from DYING OF BOREDOME!)! It's slow, non responsive, and... blech...I'm going home to have a shower. just thinking about it makes me feel dirty.
And I think they CAN say that people prefer autos, as everyone drives them and asks for them. I don't think people would buy something they didn't want (just something they don't NEED).
Autos are better in the city 'cuz Mr. John Idiotwhoshouldnothavealicence drives like a jackarse and doesn't sit still at traffic lights. They move around making gaps and causing other traffic to move... leaving me sitting there constantly working my clutch 'cuz the bastards can't make up their mind what they're doing. And I don't think autos require less maintenance. I think they actualy need more, but I'm not 100% sure on that one.
I've seen people actualy creep foward FASTER than they go when the light ACTUALY goes GREEN!!!! ARRGH! And have you noticed how many people misjudge when the lights will change and creep foward halfway into the intersection while the light is still red? And then sit there for a handfull of second and then when the light DOES go green, they drive of sooo slowly! I thought the point of starting to drive before the light actualy changes was to go faster (while endangering peoples lives and also just being an annoying prick - not to mention breaking the law)!!! "NEWS FLASH JOHN! PUSH THE THROTTLE IN AND GET IT UP TO ATLEAST 2000RPM! YOU MIGHT ACTUALY GET WHERE YOU'RE GOING A TOUCH QUICKER AND NOT HOLD UP EVERYONE BEHIND YOU LIKE A JERK!"
And when they're next to me, and I zip off shifting at about 3-4000rpm, what happens? He comes zipping passed me at 10-15km/h over the speed limit... so I GET STUCK BEHIND HIM AT THE NEXT SET OF LIGHTS!
*pant pant*
Okay... I think I'm done...
/rant... for now.
