why would you even consider a honda automatic?
They shift soft and are heavier than manuals. No thanks, if you want one I'll trade you mine straight up for your manual . . .

ive owned 8 vehicles and only 2 were auto, both autos were 3/4 ton Chevy pickups that were sold as soon as i rebuilt the motors
I dont think I could ever own an auto vehicle. not even a truck. I just dont feel like im in that much control of the vehicle.
i could own a automatic truck... but thats it
or SUV for me. or a "nice" car, not an economy cari could own a automatic truck... but thats it
a nice car for me would be a vette or a ferarri (sp) and it would still be a stick
i would never consider an automatic anything.
the Tesla however, is automatic. i would love to own this car. but at least you get to decide when it shifts... this (and any other Tesla in the future) is the only exception.

im talking like a 300C, or a Cadillac STS or something along those lines.a nice car for me would be a vette or a ferarri (sp) and it would still be a stick
with a car like that, i dont want to have to shift. i just want to sit back and cruise
are the spec v caddies manual?im talking like a 300C, or a Cadillac STS or something along those lines.

I own 4 Honda's. All five gear. The only auto that I would consider driving with be a 65 chevyII with big slicks, about 600 hp and a glide!
Stick FTW, especially when your lady knows how to drive it LOL...
the score is 9-0!!! this is a good community on here 
is there anyone who drives an auto here?

mine an auto, And im to lazy to convert it. So it will always be a auto and will always be with me cause ive tried selling it and know on wants a primer black hatch with a auto tranny. Im thinking about turboing it to.............Why the hell not. And mine doesnt shift smooth at all it has a susprisely "solid" shift And will actually brak second sometimes.
:TD: to auto.
hell yea driving a caddy is pimp you dont want to be shiftingim talking like a 300C, or a Cadillac STS or something along those lines.

my car is auto but i recommend stick for going top rpm range. honda automatics aren't as bad as many think. the only thing u need to worry about is the transmission fluid, if isn't changed then it causes slipping, grinding or even hard shifting. i got a 50-shot zex kit installed 8 months ago and the mechanic said the setup was safe and really good for my auto and was worth the install. i blow up and scare off certain cars that are manual sometimes, pretty fun but a fully built swap thats manual will for sure burn a boosted auto. in other words auto is safe for boost.
Well i look at it like this. My car is paid for i bought it 5 years ago and it was mint $3000. I could swap to a manual and a b-searies But the down side to that is for me its not worth it for the power im aiming for. Lets see to swap to manual and get a B it would probly run me somewhere around $2000-2500
I just bought a rebuilt zc vtec $500 and a d15b vtec tranny $200. So theres $700 and my motor is fresh. I could/am do a HMT 14B kit for like $200-$300 well maybe cheaper considering i got the turbo and STD mani for free.
So $900 im my d build (aiming for 175-200whp)
VS $2000-2500
So there you have it folks it kinda a no brainer

although its a no-brainer cost-wise, you will never get the satisfaction of a perfect shift and the joy of a well-timed downshift. imo, manuals are just way more fun to drive!Well i look at it like this.
