Poll suggestions - find out how many XOC members/visitors side with which loudmouths.

First do ILUVMYX vs. NY Madman.

Then do Off2cjb vs. Xterrapin.

I would guess 75% Automatic, 25% Manual (or even less).

Companies (like Toyota) are phasing out manual transmissions (you can't get one in a 4Runner) as Americans get lazier and lazier and require more input from their small brains to operate their cell phone and laptop while driving, instead of shifting.

They both have the same towing capacity. Nissan "lowered" the rating on the 5-speed to cover their butts against people who don't know how to tow larger loads with a manual tranny.

Yes, I can't find a manual tranny in about half the new cars I'm looking at.

But I drove the 5-speed before I got the automatic. Piece of junk. So spongy, I was never really sure I was in gear . . . maybe I just got a bad vehicle to test drive?

The transmission in the 5-speed Xterra was really not too nice . . . the three-speed in my Jeep feels so much more responsive and accurate . . . (damn, I gotta get that thing running . . . )

I don't know... I had a 94 ford ranger, manual, and a 97 ford ranger XLT, extended cab, and I have to say, when I started driving the Xterra, I loved the way it shifts... Also, we had this super crappy Alpha Romeo that you had to man handle to get into gear...
