Do whatever makes you happy! However, if you think you're getting a faster car, you're wrong. From a dig the manual is faster because it can dump the clutch, however, from a 5-60 roll the auto was actually a tenth faster, DESPITE having taller gears (Car and Driver). And if you really want to be faster, get 4.88 gears which really helps the car.The slush box in this car is fantastic; changes gears in .3 of a second, faster than you or anyone ever will.
Get the manual because you LOVE changing gears during the good and bad (nyc rush hour traffic).
As someone else mentioned, manuals are fun and rewarding when you first learn it. After a while, it becomes second nature and it loses its coolness factor. And then you realize that modern slush boxes are faster anyway lol.
My 95 Miata had to be manual because, well, autos from that era sucked. My FRS had to be auto because I fell in love with the crisp quick shifts and the Rev-match. BTW, I can't comment on auto in auto mode (makes sense?) because I prefer "selecting" my own gears.
Also, if you decide to ever go boost, know that the AT holds more power.
