the difference in a 240 with auto and with stick is like being in the penalty box versus on the ice playing. with auto the 240 is dangerous to get across busy intersections and merging. passing on a two lane is nigh onto impossible unless it is a tractor or riding lawn mower.

with a stick the 240 is engaging to drive and even fun.
