Having owned many cars with both manual and auto over the years I have a firm opinion.

Around town daily driving the auto wins hands down
When I want to actually drive the car the manual wins hands down.

Thankfully these days most people don't have to choose, they can have two cars. Their daily and their real car. :wink:

Our daily is auto which is nice around town, If I want to go for a real drive, like an enjoyable drive I take the 260, my wife's 350 is manual as well. We have just retired so have sold my wifes and my daily and bought one car, helps to cut costs, Get to use the 350 manual a bit more, must say I am really enjoying the 350.

Yep, I reckon if you are into driving you have to have one manual in the stable.
