Commuting to and from work in traffic an automatic. On a back windy country road a five speed. Never driven a Turbo Volvo five speed though.

I was going to say Brunettes, but that was not one of the choices.

All of my Volvos have been manual up until the 2006, I'm okay with the automatic, my wife wanted it. In stop and go traffic the automatic is nice .
My son just inherited my 99 S70 5 speed, god help the clutch !
I just got a Ford f150 with a 5 speed at the end of a 3 foot long shifter, It reminds me of my long lost PV544

Automatics are nice, but Manuals are so much more fun
