Working in sales, it's very rare that I have to try to convince a potential car buyer to go AT over MT; usually I'm trying to tell people to try the MT because it's more engaging.

But like Moto said: TRY BOTH before making the decision!
According to *** at *** Scion dealership, the largest one in the USA who has 21 allocated to them initially, and taking lists, in the case of the FRS, completely unprecedented, that his pre-orders are 80% Manual!

nice huh?
