No problem other than getting lousy gas mileage

Maybe because three pedals are too complicated...lol...j/k

It has it's advantages especially if you g/f or wife is driving. I tried teaching my ex a 5-spd on an old crx because the german clutch is more expensive than a damn civic clutch. It was like teaching a blind man what color is what.

I sometimes like auto... just not in a bloody 4 cylinder. My old trans am was auto, and it was a lot of fun... the tranny shifted extremly hard when I had performace shift engaged... my current camaro is 6spd though... seeing as how we cant have 2 of every car, I'd go with a manual everytime... although yes, when stuck in traffic, I wish I had an auto. 5 spd isnt fun at 5mph, stop and go.
