This is a no brainer since its your first car. Get the manual. You need and want to learn manual before you ever get into an automatic so you can have full understanding and control of the car. Once you have done that. (Approx 3-5 years behind a manual). If you want to drive autos or or manuals or whatever? Be my guest.
I drive the A7, there's a lot of control with this kind of automatic. Quicker shifts and better use of the cars power under acceleration. But having manual control is a superior gift to earn than speed.
