Great point, and one reason why I like the manuals! Not to mention I don't have to mess around with getting the transmission re-programmed when changing tire/gear sizes, or changing again when you put a supercharger in. Plus, you get an extra gear that you can decide how best to use (for re-gearing) as either more low-end, or more-high end fuel savings! There are good reasons to buy an auto, but I think there are better reasons to go manual.
