Not trying to be rude, but you should do a search. This topic has been discussed so many times before.

hehe

I'll give you the bottom line...

Its a matter of prefrence. You either like manuals or you prefer automatics.... Its something you need to decide for yourself.

If you need to ask this question, the answer is AT.

No one in their right mind would get AT if they wanted 6MT.

Keep in mind this is a SPORTS CAR. I chuckle at threads like "have AT want to swap for MT."

I think this is the rule. If you're deciding what to buy, and you're not sure about AT or MT, then AT is what you want.

Most MT owners didn't think twice in buying the car. My G35c was MT and now my new Z is MT.

I love the MT in my Prelude, but I opted for the AT because getting stuck on the local interstate for miles of stop/go 5mph just got to be too much exercise. My left leg muscle is about twice the size of my right

MT is great for normal driving and gives you much better control and faster take off, but AT is less tiring in slow stop and go traffic.
