Alas, as many of you have observed, I made a mistake on the poll I just posted and must repost the poll question. (LiveJournal does not allow polls to be edited.)

We apologize for the inconvenience.

I actively prefer stick-shift - I always feel like I have more control, like I'm more connected to what the car is doing. I can hear and feel when it does something weird.

To be fair, I have only ever regularly driven manuals. My parents had two, and both of the cars I have owned in my adult life have been manual - the second one, I sought it out deliberately. I can drive my husband's automatic no problem, but I don't do it often. Maybe if I did, I would become sufficiently acquainted with it that I would also be able to sense when it was doing something weird. Maybe it's not manual shift that grants that sense, but familiarity. (I personally think it's manual-shift, though. :) )
