Chime in your reason for buying an Auto TSX
I'm curious to see the reason people bought the TSX. I wonder how many bought it because they had to or because they wanted to. Lets see the poll results people...
Yes, I am an MT'er, but I can still be curious.

For me I have 2 vheicles that have sticks. I wanted an auto for when I wanted to relax and cruise. Beside I think its dumb to have a 4 door manual. Take that

I bought it because I had to, but I have no regrets, I would not trade. Clutchless is the future, I'm sure some people prefer the "feel" and "skill" of typing on a typewriter, not like those pussies who can just press "backspace" and correct their typos.

Bad analogy, really bad anology.

A big reason for me was traffic. That pretty much explains itself.
One of the other reasons is because I wanted my TSX to be a commuter car, so I was worried more about my audio/video setup than performance. Even though I have gotten a lot of performance stuff lately, my a/v setup will still always have priority. The first 2-3k I spent was on all audio videos mods and after I felt like I was done I moved onto performance. I am still glad that I have an auto because I need the ability to multitask if I have to. I have way too many gadgets going on in my car to have a manual. I have bluetooth phone kit, navi, tv, radar, ipod video, Sirius, etc. I can easily get distracted by them.
The goal of my TSX has always been "Fun". My TSX is not the very best at one thing, but instead it's good in a lot of different things. I don't have the single fastest TSX, nor do I want to. I don't have the nicest stereo setup with fiberglass all of the place, I just have a simple install that sounds good to me. I wanted my TSX to be well rounded and balanced and I think I've come pretty close to that goal. I am very happy with my car now.
When I get a real sportscar like an NSX or something, I will definitely get a manual. But for now, I'm happy and having a lot of fun in my TSX!

I was a little nervous about getting my first manual car and having it be completely new. I have driven manual before, but I'm no expert. I may eventually get a manual for my next car though, but I do drive a lot, so who knows.
