8. That's one of the reasons I prefer a stick.

I like them because they get better mileage, they're cheaper to repair, and not least of all, you have more control.

5. I prefer an automatic. Periodically, I try a manual transmission, and

I have just never been able to get the hang of driving with both feet.
