Both are good. I have an A4 and I actually choose to take it (instead of my other car, a 5-speed) when I know I'll be in traffic. The way I see it, it gives me more time to enjoy the Corvette. And when the road is clear and empty, the top pops off and the stereo goes up, and all is good in the world.

GET THE 6SPD!!!!

A Coworker of mine bought a 98 A4 coupe. He cant stand driving it infact he actually tells me he prefers to drive his daily driver Kia just because its stick. Biggest mistake he ever made was buying that automatic.

please stop beating that poor horse...

asking other people what kind of car you should get, is like asking someone else to point out which woman you should marry...only you know...so just decide...

I've always driven a stick with the exception of one auto C4 about 20 years ago. So my opinion is biased. I can tell you that every time I started that car I regretted not having a standard. Every time!

Nothing wrong with an A4, but they aren't for me, and you probably know whether it's for you or not. It's not a good deal unless it's what you want.

BTW... to you guys worried about dead horses... save a click and don't open posts about topics that bother you. This member has 6 posts and is looking for some feedback.

90% of the time I love the manual. But, those times when I'm in freeway gridlock, I hate it.
Either one has its good points and bad points. Only you can decide which one is the best for you.

Get what YOU want the 1st time, you'll be sorry down the road if you don't. As for me, I love rowing them gears.

when i was looking for my c5... I required it be black on black with a 6spd and thats exactly what I got... You never want to regret a purchase... I wish i would have got black interior or I wish I had got an M6.... I wish I would have got HUD... you know.. you need to decide what YOU WANT.... if an A4 isn't for you... don't do it... if your not apposed to it... GET IT!! I mean it is a Vette right? I guess with a little computer work, a few extra parts and some money and you can get that same car and put a used or brand new M6 in it
