My TJ is a 5speed and my JKU is an Auto. Not ashamed to say that I love the auto for everyday use but then when I hop into my TJ I get that stupid grin I used to get when I first bought it. Manuals are definitely more fun but if this is your daily driver, the auto is unquestionably less fatiguing.

Also offroad- auto is easier (hence the word "auto") but the manual still has the edge in the thrill factor= fun and/or scary (stalling on a steep climb and then sliding backwards without powersteering or power assist brakes is ALWAYS a thrill).

I was really back and fourth on the issue, but with my 2012 auto, you can shift using the new autostick!!

My JK is my first vehicle. Besides my moms hand me down. I got a manual for the new experience and it's fun to drive. Another plus is that it's a good excuse to tell people they cant drive it!
