The only drawback was the automatic (I prefer manuals).

When I was buying my current car, I tested an automatic because it was the first one I saw in that body style and I wanted to know how big it felt to drive.

When it came time to buy, I insisted on a manual, and you'd have thought the Amazing Two-Headed Woman had wanted to buy a car. The salesman had never met a female who likes to shift, I guess.

I just don't feel like I'm driving when I'm behind the wheel of an automatic.

And hear I thought women liked grabbing hold of the knob on a stick... ;-/

I miss driving a stick sometimes, but my wrists were starting to bother me, and I didn't want to give up the typing, the sewing, or the piano, so I went automatic three cars back.
