Please learn to use the search function.....this is just some highlights of searching using "manual" and "auto":

Sporty Cars....

I think the RX7 is a purebred sports car. Manual is the only way to go IMHO.

The auto trannies on these cars suck. Do not get one unless you plan to convert it.

I agree with everyone about sport cars being stick. There should'nt have been an option when it came to these cars. Tiptronic sucks!! They still take the fun out of driving. The only real tiptronic are in Ferraris'...so far

I had an auto FD once. It's now a manual, and I have to say....it's no contest. The manual tranny is by far greater than an auto.
