I've driven both MT and AT, you actually can't really go wrong with either. In fact the only correct choice is down to your preferences. The AT is one of the faster ATs as far as manual shifting is concerned. The only minus one might have with it is the gear ratios it comes with as its more fuel economy oriented than the manual. I chose the MT because I really like manual gearboxes.
The ideal scenario would've been to learn driving an MT before buying. If you loved the experience learning then yeah there's no going back to an AT. If you didn't love driving a MT, then you're actually better off with the AT. Its not like the Celica GT-S where you truly were punished for picking the AT. |

Keep the AT and swap to 4.88 gears. Recently did this and it is by far the best mod you can do for an AT.

So yes, from 5mph-60mph , the auto was a tenth faster. I'm sure as speed increases the manual will be ahead due to the better gearing. |

It's not possible for the 0-60 to be slower than the 5-60 if they are performed the same way due to inertia. |
