I'm using stick, love the feeling of being more in control of the car although wouldnt mind driving an auto, currently driving a BMW 3 series (2012) which is my sibling's.

Definitely. I grew up with Cadillacs because my family were some classy snobs and I sure wouldn't mind getting one as a luxury car someday soon - probably once I'm done paying off my student loans. Some might say they're overpriced but I say you can't put a price tag on the nostalgia. Wish my dad hadn't gotten rid of her old '95 Cadillac DeVille that was falling apart. I would have gladly paid a good amount for that car to get a makeover and a tune up - and it got 25mpg which is straight up badass for '95.

Currently driving stick--honestly hate it during rush hour. I have to go into neutral every time a car in front stops, but it's pretty nice otherwise. I'm terrible at rev matching when downshifting, though, which isn't the best for my transmission.

depends what the car is used for. Automatics are always faster for drag racing, but there's always more power loss through an automatic trans. Sticks are definitely more fun to drive though

I like driving auto because I'm uncoordinated.

Auto is more suitable for everyday use, driving to and from work and whatnot. But stick is more fun to drive.
