getting fast cars in automatic....
I am going to buy a car and a lot of the cars I like are the semi-trick ones like VW GTI and Subaru WRX. The problem is I don't know how to drive a stick shift. Am I a big tool if I get these cars in automatic and just use the paddle shifter occ.? fwiw, its not that i dont want to learn driving a stick its just that I dont want to.

Re: getting fast cars in automatic....
in a straight line performance you won't notice much difference, but pulling out of turns and finding the right gear is where an automatic suffers the most.
FWIW, I decided I wanted a WRX STi, (only comes in 6mt) and just learned to drive it. Not the ideal situation, but I wouldn't have it any other way now. |

schumacher drives automated clutch cars in f1. he has and drives several manuals even though he has infinite money and choices of automatics in many of those cars. that said, anything that is not manual is for pussies.
