Auto, not by choice, will be doing the 5 bang shebang in a month hopefully.

5 speed, auto, and 5 speed at this point. The Saturn is auto, but it has perf/econ modes Haha... I've had many autos, not by choice though. When I buy a beater I look for 3 things.... it runs, it will pass safety/e-test, and it's cheap. Things like colour, make, model, trim, engine size, etc. don't matter.

You have a car

My 1st car that I've owned and the 1st 5 speed I've ever driven. Damn it was funny when my buddy was trying to teach me how to drive it. Kept on stalling and "jerking" the car in 1st gear. And then "THE HILLS/INCLINES" Man did I hate them

Needless to say, it only took me a few hours to get the hang of it

I have a 5 speed SiR....duh.
I have a 4 speed automatic '95 Trans Am Converitible....try finding a manual....
and I have a 5 speed, 3.2 TL..........................of course, it's automatic but a 5 speed.

You know, you gotta be move careful these days when you say 5-speed. There are many 5 speed automatic vehicles today. For example, in the Honda/Acura line up, you have: MDX, TL, CL, TSX, RSX, Pilot, Odyssey and Accord.

6 speed manuals are also becoming more common but even with those, I believe Jaguar is developing a 6 speed AUTOMATIC.

Ya, gotta specify manual or auto these days. Most Honda/Acuras are now 5-speed regardless if they are auto/manual.

automatics can be shweet things if you have the know-how..

not sure what's available for the Honda line of auto-tranny's, but i've seen some ford/chevy/dodge tranny's that kick some intense shifts and handle some outta there rpm..

oh, 5 spd for me too..
