I just can't do automatics. The dealer I bought the CTS-V from said it was one of 5 Vs they got for the entire year and it wouldn't sell because it was the only one with a manual. Later that dealer told me GM only made 194 CTS-V with the manual for that year. I know in this type of car the auto would be faster off the line and to 60 mph, but I bought the stick for the good price from the dealer and the low production numbers. I only put less than 3000 miles a year on it, always dry roads and mostly trips. Trip type mileage makes for a very good example of a survivor car 25 years down the road. Even my Ford F350 4X4 crew cab diesel dually is a stick.
