Default Get a manual or automatic?

Hi. I can't decide whether to get a manual or automatic 2003 Tib GT. I took a look at the Hyundai website and it seems that the 17" rims come only with the 6-speed manual. Is this true? Thanks.

<img src=/images/forums/snitz/thumbup.gif width=25 height=18 border=0>Manual...automatic does not allow proper control or engine speed, and having the transmission kick down during hard cornering and breach that last fraction of traction that's left can be fatal...

Manual, but you should only pick manual if you know how to do it. If you don't get some one to teach you cause i think manual is the only way to go<img src=/images/forums/snitz/approve.gif width=15 height=15 border=0><img src=/images/forums/snitz/thumbup.gif width=25 height=18 border=0>

Well since this will only gets tons of replies telling you to get the a manual then I see no point on leaving this open.

Good luck with your purchase. Tell us what you end up getting.<img src=/images/forums/snitz/thumbup.gif width=25 height=18 border=0>
