The results say it all. Manual is the only way to go. I hate driving my my DD cause it's an auto and there's this one street that is a hill in itself. I have to slow to a crawl at the light to get thru the turn and than go up it, with out a stick i have to floor it and wait . . . and wait . . . and wait, until the car say's, "Oh, shit! I have to down shift!" and downshifts, slamming into gear and giving me some torque steer (FWD). In a manual, I decide when i want/need to down shift and if i need more power, DOWN SHIFT!
