I don't know. I'm going to put down automatic I think.
On the one hand, Manual does allow one to choose the gear you want, and you can slam it into gears, mostly, without much damage. And they are fun.
On the other hand, (if it comes with PRND21) you can select the gear on the automatic, and just let it do the work. Easier in rush hour. And there's no clutches to change every 50K miles. I haven't ever had to replace the tranny on my cars (yet), and I knows I'm punishing them by shifting them manually. Mark VIII, Mark VII, '66 Tbird, '66 Mustang '65 Mustang. No tranny problems. (Now that I said that, I'll have to get one, right?)
Decisions decisions. Manumatic. Yeah, that's what I'll get.

I drive a truck for a living so I have the "pleasure" of shifting gears all day long.
When I get in my car I just want to relax and drive. Besides, no mater how good you think you are,an auto will beat a manual at the strip all day long,everything else being equal.
