Is Your Daily Driver an Auto or Manual?

Thought of buying an auto daily driver but then I remembered how boring auto is. If I were to get an SUV or truck I'd probably get an auto but for a daily driver car I had to get stick. Picked up a 2008 legacy gt this winter. Great daily driver!

I daily my S 60 miles a day for the work commute. I experience light to moderate traffic in the morning and light to no traffic in the evening. Even with heavier traffic I don't think I could drive an auto every day.

Never owned an automatic car and never will unless I actually play the lottery and win. The only time I drive them is when I rent a car as you have no choice. Within 10 minutes I'm bitching and cursing at the POS no matter what it is.
Even when I used to commute long distances for work purposes or finishing college, the stick never bothered me in stop in go, it was the stupid drivers.
I'm a lunatic I guess. X mfr. offers paddles only, auto trans only, cvt only, etc, then that is a car I will never, ever, consider buying. In a supercar, yeah I could deal with paddles, but anything I can afford, not a chance in hell.

Been using my 6spd TSX for daily duties the past couple years and haven't looked back since. IMHO it’s the perfect daily driver and is probably the best gearbox I've driven thus far.

The S is my fun car. For the boring day to day I have an automatic Accord coupe v6. I like it a lot and the wife can drive it, too. I thought of getting my Accord in manual but my wife can't drive stick and sometimes I really don't want to have to shift.

I must be getting old because I rather enjoy DD'ing my auto jeep Cherokee. Commuting in socal is rough so auto is just fine with me. When I'm feeling saucy I'll drive the s2k on a Friday
