    Personally, budget lang nakikitang kong reason why anyone would choose Manual.
    (or kung bahain yung place nyo)

    Way back in college...

    I had a 1.6 Lancer MT, GF had 1.5 Lancer AT (1998 & 1999 models)

    Just for fun, we went to a nice road sa north to drag race...

    AT car was faster and noticeable yung pag iwan nya sa akin everytime I shift gears.

    yes... don't hahaha

    I read somewhere that on a normal stock car, great drivers will loose a quarter sec to step on the clutch and shift gear.

    If you're racing a quarter mile and use 4 gears, you loose .75 sec just by using a manual. (granting you launch the car properly)

    Not for me. I chose a manual because I am used to it and I find it more fun to drive (shifting gears)

    It wouldn't be fun if the car you're driving is not quick or worse, slow to respond.

    I would consider an MT car for a weekend toy car of sorts - like a Civic SiR or Civic FD 2.0L or Focus TDCi 2.0L MT or better yet, a WRX or Evolution.
