either way there is more time with one hand on the shifter in a manual than in an auto. i dont think a good auto takes much from the driving experience. the only argument people make is that its taking control from the driver and giving it to a computer but i dont see people complaining about fuel injection, abs, synchros, variable timing, power steering, rev limiters etc. its a slippery slope of an argument and people are just trying to push their opinions on to others. i try to keep my personal preference out of these debates
