Freeway driving out here is awful with plentiful traffic. That being said, this is the first car I'd ever consider in a manual. But I also have to factor in my wife, who does not know how to drive manual either. So when time to buy, it will likely be an automatic.
Same here in that I've never really driven manual before; I've done it sporadically but I definitely wouldn't say I'm comfortable with it. With that said, I did test drive an auto today and felt a tad bored like I wasn't interacting with it enough. Traffic in Atlanta sucks but I may just consider a manual for this one.
