Speaking for myself personally, it's not about the speed/capability of the vehicle. For me it's just the simple fact that I can control the power output to the ground at all times - more control over what happens to me/the vehicle/everything else inside. Manuals are just more fun to drive, even if you're only doing 3 MPH in rush hour traffic. I love manuals.

You got me there, but only because I let the registration run out and cancelled the insurance because I'm deployed (on leave). Once I'm back for good, all quattro, all the time!

Until then, at least my <wife's> soccer mom SUV has AWD! And yes, the kids played soccer the past two seasons, just so ya know... hahaha!
