I daily drive mine. I originally didn't have Clear Bra and regretted it. Then I banged up the front bumper and now the whole front end is bra'd. I went with front bumper, 1/3 hood, leading edge of fenders, a-pillars, mirrors, and roofline. Without clear bra, your front bumper will feel like 100 grit sandpaper and you'll have multiple hood chips in <5k miles.
The Z has a huge gas tank so your range is anywhere from 250mi to upwards of 400mi depending on how you drive. If you're worried about fuel economy, the Z is not for you. It's not bad, but it's not a Chevy Volt, Toyota Prius, or Nissan Leaf.
DD'ing a manual is only a matter of preference. I LOVE driving my manual every day. I find it much more engaging and entertaining. Traffic isn't that big a deal either. But if you don't care much about the manual, then just get an AT.
