Better for what , for who , for what driving style ?????????
do you prefer to shift gears or sit back ????
Bigger cubes wins every time but uses more fuel ; a 305 driven carefully is more economical

Re: WHAT'S BETTER....
I had a 350 Formy, but I sold it. I like the ideas of a point and shoot car, but I also want something has has more drive-ability and personal connection.
I'm just trying to think which car would make my money go farther. Got a 3k Budget to start off with. I don't need something thats like super eye catching, cause ill do that myself.
I just want something that I can play around with, that I can cruise the blvd with and if I want to do a canyon run by my house, I can do it and have fun doing it as well.

Re: WHAT'S BETTER....
I guess what im trying to say is, for me, and average skilled mechanic and driver I would like a car that would best fit me. Something fun, versatile, affordable and practical.

Re: WHAT'S BETTER....
When my dad was teaching me to drive he told me something I will never forget. He said; "any idiot can drive an automatic, but it takes skill to drive a manual correctly" and I never forgot that. Now I will say that driving a stick isn't really hard and my DD is an automatic, but I just can't see having a sports car and it being an auto. I feel that if your going to drive a car that was meant to handle well and make you feel like you're part of the road then why wouldn't you want to change your own gears?
