I live in L.A, and don't regret getting a manual.
It's just so fun, even in traffic
I can't see myself getting anything else than a manual.
When you master the clutch in the G and its bad habits, you're going to enjoy driving it alot.

I was getting crappy, grinding 1st to 2nd shift at high RPM's, then I figured out that if I held the shifter with my thumb over the top (thus pulling the shifter left toward me when engaging 2nd), it engaged quite smoothly....Never grinded a gear again So I learned--the tranny gets more sensitive as the RPM's go up....

I actually prefer manual for traffic because I can control my speed better and brake less compared to all the auto around me. Its also great to see the douche on his cell behind me slam on his brakes as a inch forward in first at a snail's pace
