I remain neutral on the whole manual vs. automatic thing because I think that it is really up to the owner to decide.

For myself, I can drive both. When I was dd'ing my old swapped accord, sometimes I wished I had an auto. When I got my tC, sometimes I wish I had a manual (though a valve body from IPT makes the auto shift a lot better). Regardless of what car you get, I think there will always be a question of what would it have been if I had gotten ____ transmission instead. There's benefits to both.
