I'm about half and half manual/auto I guess. Do prefer a manual though.

Same here. I wouldn't want an automatic from the same period in any of my cars (e.g., no '70s dorkflite in my Datsun, no AOD in my Nissan, etc), but I can't see much point in arguing about it once electrification comes down to the models for the masses and "powerbands" are just a flat line from 0 to redline.

a cheap suzuki zen i had had the smoothest quickest gearbox i ever used
much more expensive cars had clunky sluggish gearboxes

My dad had a 442 when I was a kid. Traded it for a F100 stepside.
Don't remember the year.

I remember you having a soft spot for those.
My folks just had utilitarian vehicles by the time I came along. As newlyweds it was a 63 impala ss and a 61 triumph tr3.
Then they had kids.

i drove a polo tdi (?) some fancy version supposed to be quick
i liked it but the ride could be better (too hard) and i would way prefer a manual gearbox in a car like that
its like half the control has been taken away from you
it would make a great rally car in its division

I almost bought one. Restored to shiny new condition.
I got married instead.
If I had bought that car, I might not know you guys.
