if you have to ask, you may as well go automatic.

manual being better on gas is a myth these days, it really depends on how well you drive the 5-speed.

Be cool. Get a stick. Why? Because it's a stick.

If you know how to drive stick and you live in an area without too much traffic go for it.

Manual is always going to be greater, provided you're willing to put forth the effort required to drive one.

If you like to have the luxury and smooth drive associated with no shifting, go for the automatic.

excellent choice, it'll be more effort to drive, but that also makes the drive less boring.

+ you can do so much with a manual in terms of power.

It'll take some time to get used to the drive by wire throttle, but once you're used to it, it's cake.

i'd say first time getting manual or not sstill get one with a manual tranny. Like everyone said its more fun to drive and its not hard to learn. Plus in my opinion at makes you more aware of whats going on both in your car and around you since your the one shifting and everything
