Stick.
I find it humorous when people complain about using a stick in heavy traffic. If you learn to not actually stop then you won't be using the clutch so much.
Also, the clutch in most cars these is is so light it's almost funny. The heavy-duty clutch in my Mustang feels like I'm stepping on a plum after I get out of my work truck. If your leg is tired after holding in the clutch through one red light then you'd probably be crying if you had to do the same in my KW
hey hey there I am one of those people who currently drive a stick since I learned how to drive 10 years ago and am more than likely go auto when I replace my car next year and one of them is the traffic I put up with daily.
It not that my leg is getting tired but more it just getting to the point that it is annoying. I do quite a few of the trick like using my gears to set my idle speed near that of traffic. But it is just dealing with the constant shifting. It more of the annoyance and inconveniences of it.
Will I miss it hell yeah I will. I love driving a stick shift and I will miss the connection with the car but I will have paddle shifters to help make up for it.
Also do not forget stick shift suck for dates because both hands are counstately tied up with the car. One to shift one to drive.
Lastly autos have gotten to the point where they remove most if not all the adatages manuals had on them. They can match to beat them in gas mileage. Faster off the line. A computer will time the shift perfectly and have less lag time in the shift. No human can match a computer.
