Another vote for manual. I am one of the few who like a manual for its own sake. I'd be lying if I said the control wasn't nice, but I love the challenge of working three limbs together for a perfect shift, playing with clutchless shifts, etc. It's the core reason I like stick. The fact that you can get better FE with a manual is a big bonus, though .

Oh, and the automatics in those are a disaster. I have one in my wife's Rio.
