Would you rather have a more powerful trim with an automatic,

More powerful usually means v6 vs i4

Would always take the v6 option no matter what because the i4 is in a boat

Well there's the matter of things like the 300ZX or Supra, where the trims share identical engines, but the turbos are significantly more powerful.

I like modern autos for a DD (unless it's a CVT) so of course I would take the higher trim

Probably take the manual because I'd never be stupid enough to buy an auto for my weekend car, and I may as well get the DD that has better mpg and is cheaper.

I'd rather find a different platform that had both more power and a manual. Never settle.

A gearbox/ecu/tailshaft etc costs more and is more of a headfuck to do/get done than a cai, exhaust and throttlebody + off the shelf tune for those mods

This.

There's literally a million cars out there.

I like this approach.

What KIND of auto?

this, even if it means buying a used car over new.

If the used car market shows manuals have a higher resale, then new car buyers will gravitate to them, and manufacturers will be inclined to make more of them

Depends on the vehicle. In something like a Miata, I'd take the less powerful manual. But for an FCA SRT Challenger or some luxury car, I'd happily take the powerful auto.

Auto. There's no reason to really have a manual where I live unless the auto is fucking terrible.

I already have that
>more powerful DD is Grand Marquis
>Less powerful is my project 84 Celica GT

Less powerful manual, I'll never own an automatic. Drove one once and it was depressing and infuriating at the same time. Not for me fäm.

depends on the car. if it's a some kinda landbarge/suv type contraption i probably want auto

My daily is a Corolla XRS (roughly 170hp engine, 6 speed manual)). Barebones inside with a bluetooth headunit for muh tunes.

My weekend cruiser is an IS300 (215hp engine which I plan to boost to at least 300bhp. Autotragic.) Fully loaded with the exception of the Navigation unit.

I'm think I'm set for now. T-Thanks Obama, Mr. President, sir.

depends on the car and size of it.
