Which transmission would you prefer?
I like manual transmission :)
Manual vs. Automatic Car Transmission
I've driven stick for most of my life but after learning to drive auto I must say that it's much easier on the feet and legs on long drives. A trip out of the city could take anywhere from two to seven hours, and that's not something you want to do with manual transmission.
Unless you're a real man. Hahaha. Oh well, I much prefer to use manual transmission. I like being in control of how the engine power is used.

I learned with manual transition, but for me I would never buy a car with this kind of transmission. Yeah they got more power and stuff but man there are too many other things I have to pay attention while driving that I do not want to add more things to worry like shifting gears, while having to press the clutch and accelerator at the right times.:yum:

Ohkay, you're my new best friend. hahaha! 
I used to play a lot of Gran Turismo and it really influenced the way I drive. One day, I was out driving my old Civic, taking a curve at speed when I started to oversteer! This was unusual for a front wheel drive car. Out of instinct, I counter-steered, popped the clutch, shifted and pumped the gas pedal at high rev to get traction back. It was a beautiful four seconds of driving. You couldn't do that on an automatic. Sigh...
Then again, I once had to drive to Baguio with that same car. Mountain roads with bumper to bumper traffic on an incline. I really wished that I had an automatic at the time. You could smell everyone's burnt clutch for two miles. Hahahaha!

Your explanation is reasonable. I laughed reading through it :)
Enjoy your weekend!

True. Manual if not well balanced on traffic, you will keep restarting the engine.
It has happened to me before.

There is good control with manual transmission.
