I've done stop and go rush hour in LA (405, 5, and a few others) and SF (101, 280/680 others) with a MT both in this and my truck. Sure there were times I got out with a stiff left leg but I wouldn't trade it for anything. It's been done before and will be done again.

Get the car you think you will be most content with, nobody here will know if the defining trait of owning this car will be you sitting in traffic going "should have gotten the fucking automatic" as you bump along in first gear or you apexing through one of the best driving roads in the state going "should have gotten the fucking manual" as the transmission downshifts with no drama as you tap a button. Only you can prevent fore- I mean answer this question.
