Nowadays the shift stick is not as common as it was before. All the luxury, exotic cars have been transitioning to automatic transmissions with paddle shifters, they say it would be humanly impossible to shift as quick as the car is producing more and more power (they have a point). I love the fun that driving stick is, I think you get the full experience of driving with stick, but that's my opinion. But for daily commute, I would go with an automatic. My last car in PR was stick and, I kid you not, after a 1:30hr traffic jam my left leg was shaking and the clutch was feeling heavier and heavier.
A friend of mine has a Nissan Maxima with Sport Shifter, he tried it with me and you can feel the power even when is an automatic car. Is a good option when you have just one car and want to have some fun every now and then.
What is your choice? What do you drive?

Automatic. I drive 9 10 and and 18 speed at work. It's nice to shift once and just go.

Both are fun. My fiancé has a 14 STI and it's a blast to get out and rip some gears on a nice windy road, but my 08 charger with its sportronic shifter is a blast as well.

SFC (Join to see) I just saw today a late 90s Impreza, 2 doors, I wish Subaru go back to those times. It was stock, with the golden wheels and no visible aftermarket parts, that car still rocks. However, the Charger, with the Mustang and the Camaro going smaller and lighter should start shaving some pounds if they want to keep up the fight.

SFC (Join to see) - The Charger actually handles better than the Challenger. Her butt is too big the SRT guys proved that too me at the first track experience. I was following a Charger driven by an instructor and he took me into a corner the Charger stuck the Challenger ended up in the gravel trap. Went back out in two Chargers no problem but of course it could have been the driver.
