Automatic or Manual. Which is the best?

- Accord automatic - just change the transmission oil once a while. Did a major cross country with a asw19 trailer a couple of times. Reached speeds of 85 mph and 100K and absolutely no issues.. Fellow club member has one with 240K regularly towing different trailers - including Blanik. 4 bangers of course. I think the fact that this was the last year produced in Japan had a lot to do with it. So a Acura TSX is the last one from the family still produced in Japan. Jetta TDI with a double clutch transmission should work well too - fast shifting transmission and lots of low end torque should be ideal for this purpose.
