I prefer a manual for a performance car (I was an idiot street racer when I was younger). It’s challenging and fun to launch and shift. For a daily driver I’m ambivalent. A manual is what I got the deal on so it’s what I drive.  From a maintenance standpoint, I’d give the nod to manuals. Clutches/flywheels are pretty easy to replace yourself and a manual rebuild is doable at home with time and patience. There’s no way I’m touching an automatic as a home mechanic. That’s a black art as far as I’m concerned. With that said, I prefer an auto in a 4x4. Maybe I’m lazy but I like putting the transmission in 1 and the T case in 4L and letting the vehicle do the work.</p></blockquote><p></p>
