I bought mine with manual transmission 2 1/2 years ago, before that I had a Genesis Coupe that was 6 speed as well for 2 years, and before that I had a Eclipse GTS that was 5 speed for almost 10 years.
In all honestly, I wish I had bought an auto this time around. Manual is fun, but all I do is use my car for a daily driver. I don't do anything crazy except go to work and back....so with Austin traffic as bad as it is I would rather be driving an automatic. Not to mention that I've heard the FRS/BRZ in auto is actually very good.
It's all preference of course and depends on your situation. My gf doesn't know how to drive manual transmission, so that's a negative for me since it limits our options. If her car is having trouble then I gotta wake up and take her to work...I can't just tell her to take my car. If I need to borrow her bigger car then I have to work around her schedule, I can't just tell her to take my car for the day. For long road trips we can't switch drivers...I gotta drive the whole way.
Those are my reasons why I'd rather have an auto right now.
