Nothing against auto trans, but I prefer manual, and partly because I don't have to drive it in everyday stop and go traffic. What I mostly have to stop for are deer. The 7 speed is more exhilarating and atheistically pleasing to me to drive. I feel more apart of the car. It's sort of like my John Deere tractor where I can use the brake to change direction, I don't have to, but I want to because it adds a little juice and zest to the tractor experience. Same with the clutch and 7 speed, it adds a little more excitement, for me. At first I was going to get auto, but said, "what the heck, go for it, go for the total package of the clutch/manual driving experience." Just sayin' and just me, and I am sure I would love the auto as well.
The only negative is with experience I don't trust the "hill holder." Yes, I can put on the brake as also recommended by GM, but I trust in myself more than anything else.
