I'm considering buying an '87 with an auto after years with an '85
manual.  Read recent posts about better reliability with the auto,
though I've never had a problem with my manual.  Any thoughts out there
as to the preferred choice if you in fact had a choice?  I'm mainly
concerned about 1.) slowing down an already, shall we say, relaxed
vehicle and 2.) keeping highway rpm's to a minimum
Also, I always thought manual tranny's were much simpler and therefore
less trouble prone.  I mean, no funky valve plates and little balls
moving around and all that junk.  Auto's are more reliable? I still find
that hard to believe...what gives?
