Stick gives you way more control.
In my Max I would be able to go brake, go into a turn in third/second and accelerate out. On an auto, it would hesitate while it searches for the right gear.
Also, it makes me cringe every time I press the gas expecting a pull but feel the gears changing while the engine accelerates.
(Drove stick Max up until a few months ago when grandma driver totalled it. 2001 with a 2004 engine/6 speed trans. Now driving 2004 auto Camry.)
