This is an entirely subjective choice. For a person who might be disabled to the degree they cannot drive stick, then the answer is obvious. For the daily commuter that spends untold daily hours subjected to traffic an automatic looks better day-by-day. We have the automatic and it's very good for an automatic and you can achieve some of what a manual shift affords. Still, some people will never drive anything other than a standard shift. I prefer Gerald Wiegert (the founder of the Vector) take as I got to speak with him at one of his lectures and believe that the automatic will outpace standard shift in so many ways, plus, will be the future. The programming that a computer can do far outpaces the human brain; this component as part of the right drivetrain will eventually dominate.
