I'm guessing you're not married... You can't assume logic when dealing with women.

hehe... in a perfect world.

Okay...i'm probably not going to give the expected answer....since i'm a chick w/ an auto...but i say go for the stick! She has her car to drive....this is going to be YOURS...so you should enjoy it. i mean it could be a lot worse, you could want an impractical two seater or a fixer upper that is going to costs lots of money. It's not unreasonable for you to have a car you enjoy driving. If she wants to drive it....she can learn to drive a stick, it's not that hard. Compromise goes both ways...it doesn't have to be you compromising on an auto.

When my bf (i know it's not a marriage but we've lived together for 4 yrs) got his car..it was a stick i didn't know how to drive. So i learned...so if i wanted or needed to drive it, i could. When i got my xA...i got license plates my bf wouldn't have gotten...and car seat covers that he doesn't like....but guess what...it's my car...i'm the one who drives it most of the time....and it makes me happy. Neither of us compromised....so we are both happy!

I have been reading everyones responses and appreciates everyones input. I have pretty much made up my mind and am going with the 5-speed, unless I loose a leg in the next two months. I just drove my bro-in-law's Audi A6 2.7T (chipped of coures!) and going through everyone of those 6 gears, just melted my heart!!! Ok, I won't have 6, but 5 will do and I won't have that nail your butt to seat sensation, but it will still be fun to dirve!!!
