Honestly there isn't much value to be added with the way this thread has turned. The poll is useful to get a real world idea of manual transmission compared to automatic transmission purchase rates.
My main point was from a performance stand point this automatic brings nothing to the table like some claim. It is not a rapid shifting pdk or dsg as some have compared it to. The gearing is not nearly as aggressive as the manual which has a significant impact on track times and worsens the lack luster acceleration of this car. It weights more, and it has significantly more drive train loss (10+ whp loss compared to the manual transmission. )
If these things don't matter to you and you prefer better gas mileage and easier bumper to bumper driving, then by all means go with the automatic (there are plenty available at the moment.)
