Stick, always better to have more control over the car, get more power out of the engine.

In an attempt to win you over to the automatic side, I want to say how about 1k or less in the US?

A car this small can only be properly enjoyed with a manual transmission. Actually, any vehicle can only be properly enjoyed with a manual transmission.

The 5speeds on the wrx suck seriously that is the ONLY reason I got an auto. Every other car I have ever driven was a 5speed.

automatic

i opted for the automatic as a comprimise with the wife who cannot drive a stick, this way i may be able to get a bike come spring. i'm actually enjoying the automatic for the amount of start and stop city driving i do.

I test drove both, but I have always found manual much more fun. It's funny kralmrax, I chose the manual transmission for the exact same reason you chose the automatic. Let the wife drive the Jimmy and the Yaris is all mine!
