Get the automatic!!!! ............No! Wait! Get the manual.
Yeah, the manual..................Nawhhh, get the automatic.
On second thought..........Oh nevermind!...............[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

How do you like the 5-speed on your Ozark? If you're OK with it and like the control that you have with picking your own gears, then get the 5-speed. OTOH, if you find yourself wishing that you could just cruise along and not worry about the gears, then get the auto. The 5-speed Eiger will have a little more power, but not enough to make much difference. The only other factor is the price difference.

it is personal preferance...

 

GET THE AUTO........ Its so much funner, unless its for work. I love auto and I used to be the kind that would say Manual is for men and Autos are for puzzies..... I take it back, you will have much more fun with the Auto.

 

take both out for a ride if the dealer will let you and see what one u like the best

 

5 spd Manuel = Less maintainence, dependable, no belt slip in water, more torque & power, more fun to ride, and less weight.
Automactic = For bums that are to lazy to change gears hah JK
Depends on you, but the 5 spd is going to be more sporty I think. But if you ever had to pull a heavy trailor, the manuel will also be better for work.

 

I agree, manual makes it feel more sporty, and a lot more fun! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Changing gears is all right, but it will get old after a while, I notice now that when I trade with someone with a manual (to let him try my new Eiger) I can't wait to get mine back. Especially where I ride you have to constantly change gears. To be honest with you I really think that if your in your teens or 20's you'll like a manual, if your in your mid 30's and older you will enjoy your ride a lot more with an Auto.

 

thanks to all for your input on this matter
