[DML] Re: Automatic vs. Stick

["Dave" <v-davidj@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Paul,

I have a Turbo automatic with 11k miles on it for sale.  Local club
members who have driven my car think the performance is better than a
5 speed (due to the turbo).

I think that the automatic can be just as fun to drive; however, I
really prefer a manual to give it just that much more "feel".  So I
suppose it depends on you.

Thanks!
Dave Jacobs
