The one thing that I haven't noticed in this discussion (perhaps I missed it) of Auto v. Manual that can be very relevant is ergonomics.
To my knowledge when it comes to ergonomics an automatic is the only way to go and it's highly doubtful I will ever drive another manual again. Being 54 years old I had pretty much driven manuals all my life and never really thought much of it.
Then one day about 10 years ago I noticed my left knee was having a constant pain. So, I headed to the physical therapist and the first thing out of his mouth was, you guessed it, "do you drive a manual"? He said this is a very common problem.
As much fun as it is to drive a manual I love my knee a LOT more!!! I sold all my manual cars just as fast as I could and about a year later my knee pain went almost completely away.
Every so often it flairs up as my knee with never be the same but it's a 180 degrees from where it was.
Something to think about...
