Manuals have an advantage in some situations (off roading, transmission doesn’t overheat, better performance with skill, repairability) and autos have theirs (easy, better fuel economy)

If I commuted to an office every day I’d get an auto (actually these days an EV), but working in the bush/backroads? Manual

Yeah if I still lived in Seattle area and drove to work I’d want an automatic.

As it is I don’t deal with traffic so a manual is a more fun “tool” to drive.

All those points, except for repairability, are arguable for modern gearboxes such as DSG.

Modern autos still have the overheating issue? Not an issue on road, becomes an issue offroad when your really pushing the vehicle
