Two reasons I favor a manual transmission. #1 I cannot repair an automatic #2 I drive a 4 cylinder 99 CR-V and do occasional towing. The 5 speed gives me a greater range of gears than the auto, and, I get to choose when the shift happens not the trans. I moved my son from Southern Calif. to east Texas 10 years ago with a stacked high 4x8ft. trailer. Third and fourth gear were very useful in a few places.
