Message	I owned about 20 manual cars before ever owning an automatic. One of the first auto's I had was a 93 2+2 ZX. I loved the car except for the automatic tranny. Besides the fact that it suddenly stopped working one day, it always felt very sluggish compared with the 5-speeds... so I sold it after about a year. Never drove a TT automatic, so I can't comment on it, but I can't imagine it would be "fun." However, my DD for the last 3 years has been an automatic, and I've definitely gotten used to being lazy in the miami traffic ;-)
