I definitely have no idea what you're talking about
The auto RA is the same as the manual RA, except it has longer gearing and one less gear. It also runs at lower RPM on the highway (you can go faster before MIVEC starts using all your gas).

yes, if you like cars in its beauty, get manual. but if you want to buy a decently fast car at a decent price, and with decent conveniences, buy the automatic.

This will sound wierd (because I have an auto!!!) but I'd go manual!!! I really wanted to (and my boy taught me before I even bought my car, thanks again, Omar!!!) but with the traffic I sit in everyday, blah blah blah... If I had it to do again I'd suffer w/ the manual probably!!!!

^^^I work downtown so i sit in traffic to and from work and it is a bit of PITA but to think that i wouldn't have the ability to shift gears any other time would just suck. So some traffic is just a small price to pay for having a manual, i think.

The engine is a bit louder then a few cars I would say, but if you really enjoyed the loud sound then you could just get a CAI and that would solve your problems right there.

Yeah, I prefer a manual as well, but it IS pretty annoying sometimes in traffic. Oh well... clutch gets a good work out.

But you can just hold onto the beer with your left hand hand drive right with your right provided you had a MT.
