I think that most newer automatics accelerate faster and are more fuel efficient now than manuals, so that argument is wrong now. It did use to be true but automatic transmissions have improved and now are very good in when to shift and they can shift faster than manual. One thing I do like about newer manual cars is some cars now how a feature where the car doesn't go backwards when on a hill (brake hold). I hated that when I drove manual in really hilly areas as well as really bad stop and go traffic. I do enjoy manuals more in sporty cars in low traffic environments but not for everyday commuting.
