I hate driving automatics, I hate how they keep "pushing" all the time, =

If I'm braking I don't want the engine to keep pushing me into the car =

in front.
I also despise how they change gear at all the wrong times, you want to =

it changes gear, start going up a hill and try to maintain speed and =

it'll down shift twice, only to rev the guts out of itself just as you =

get to the top of the hill anyway.

The only auto I like is a CVT auto, at least then there's some point to it.

I must admit my car has a heavy clutch and I pay a decent price in =

stop/start traffic, but that's a rare occurrence for me.
