POLL: Does your Aveo have an automatic or manual transmission?

[Daox]

Auto or manual trans? And why did you choose it?

Have your previous cars had manuals or autos?

[MetroMPG]

Good poll question! OK, my vote doesn't count (pre-Aveo)...

But I voted anyway. I always pick manual transmission when I have the choice. I've had maybe 25 or 30 cars, and only 2 have been automatics, one being my first car (land yacht 1964 Pontiac Catalina 389 V8 ), the 2nd didn't have a manual option.

Voted Auto since my current 2010 is, but my previous 2004 was manual. Driving a stick shift is definitely a dying art in North America.

[MetroMPG]

Yeah, only something like 6 or 7% of new cars in the U.S. are manuals now.

I have owned four cars in my life, all manuals. The next one I am getting is going to be an automatic for a boat towing SUV. Been looking for four wheel drive. An automatic makes sense there. I am inline for an Elio Elio Motors | The next big thing in transportation! and I plan to get the manual there too.

I absolutely love manual, i owned one vehicle that was auto and that got swapped to a manual.

[Daox]

I've owned 13 cars/trucks over the years. Of those, 5 have been automatics and 8 were manual trans.

You mean you actually swapped the transmission? What kind of car was that?

That's a cool machine. I hope it comes to fruition.

It was a 93 dodge caravan i swapped the factory motor for an engine trans and drivetrain from a 3000gt VR-4.

I voted auto however I wish my current car was a manual. I have owned a few in the past and love to drive them. When I got my car it was the only one on the lot so I got stuck with an auto
