    There are some places where an auto trans rules. Like if you live in an area that has a lot of hills and upward inclines. A manual trans can be a PITA.

    Modern autos are just better in all aspects than manuals. I love rowing my own gears, but autos do it better. My car has an 8 speed auto with paddles and the ability to control from the gear selector. I initially was using those because it's fun, but with the correct settings the auto just shifts faster and anticipates my needs.

    Maybe better, but not half the fun.

    Today’s cars are fast, especially performance cars.

    If I ever get another performance car...I don’t track my cars, I’m not concerned with lap times, and it’ll be a manual just for the joy of driving engagement.

    The advantages of an automated transmission are basically lost on me.
    If I get into a car that has paddles and no third pedal, 99.9999% of the time I’m letting the car do all the shifting for me.
