Automatic or manual?

Question:
I am getting a Pontiac Solstice and am trying to decide whether to get an automatic or stick. I don't know how to drive a stick, but I can learn. Which, in your opinion, is better for a sports car? Are sticks difficult to learn, or should I just get an automatic (with this car they're harder to find and a little pricier) Thanks for your help

What's the cheapest way to send a large heavy package (flat packed rabbit hutch) from Kent to Leeds?

manuals are more fun to drive...autos are easier. clutches generally need replacement which is expensive. automatics simply fluid changes every 20 k or so...much cheaper. I don't think i would want to LEARN how to drive a stick on a new and expensive car, but it is not that difficulat to master, and once you DO get the hang of it, its a breeze

Oh..by the way.. You should be able to get a great deal on that car. It's Pontiac's worst selling car. There should be plenty in stock...so don't let them give you the "we don't have that many automatics crap"...or try and get you with a high price for the stick for that matter...

My Pontiac Wave hatchback is standard and I love it being that way... We waited for the Solstice to come out in automatic before getting one, and I am a standard driver who loves the Solstice automatic. I find it very cramped and can't imagine it being standard. I love the Solstice!
