Auto - you have the option to shift if you want and you will be happier in traffic jams

since you are undecided, go for the auto.

because you have to put more effort into driving a manual transmission car, it should be something that you know you want to get

Among manual transmissions the Z's is only "average." The SRM feature is awesome, though.

If you like driving manual, get the manual. If you aren't sure, you're probably better off with the automatic. Among automatic transmissions it's "very good."

Well my only choice would be to get the manual transmission because the wife won't drive a standard. If I got an automatic then I'd never get to drive it.

I opted for the house instead of the Z this year. Hopefully next year I'll be able to get the Z.

Love my auto w/paddle shifters. I am also 48 and don't drive like im 25.

The autos in the Z are great! I chose the auto and have not regretted it at all. I don't really think this thread is going to help you make a decision. The best thing you can do is go out and drive them both!
