And where are you from? And how old? Not "do you" but just if you know how.

I'm in the US, mid 30s and can (and do) drive a manual transmission.

It depends. Semi-nice car? Hands down.

Cheap underpowered econobox? Manual is usually better. They cheap out on the automatic transmission. No es bueno.

It's the engine size really, I have driven the automatic version of my car (SEAT Mini) and it was awful. However trying a bigger car was much better.

I knew someone that has that issue on their Fiesta, luckily that was only for those specific vehicles.
