I love my manual. Even the best designed auto saps power. On a super car like a Ferrari it's not really an issue, but on tiny cars, with tiny engines (like Yari), a manual is almost necessary. When I bought my Yaris brand new (first new car ever owned) I refused to compromise on that 1 point. Autos are no where near as fun to drive. I learned to drive a manual from my best friend and video games if you believe it. I was quite rough on my first manual, but I got a lot better, and now driving an auto feels weird. I hope I can get a manual in what ever my next car is (assuming it's gasoline engine powered, you know about Toyota reliability lol)
