I love my manual. My old room mate had the auto 370Z and wasn't anywhere near as fun. The manual just makes me feel like I have more control over the car and its responses.
My new room mate just traded his 6spd 4 door GTI for an auto 2008 base corvette and its fun only because it has power but there's no way I would buy one. People make fun of him wherever he goes because he has the loud exhaust and its obvious to everyone around that its an auto. People of all ages, not just the younger ones, make fun of it.
With that being said, I don't think it's anyone's business which one you choose but people of all ages have much more respect from other people when they're in a manual. I laugh at the geezers in their auto convertible corvettes and the geezers with the Z06 get a thumbs up because in my honest opinion they are a true car enthusiast. Born in the times when autos weren't heard of.
