My first car at 16 was a stick, I forced myself to drive it to school despite stalling a lot the first few days. Right now I have an auto because my wife stopped driving our last manual and took my truck all the time. The auto manual debate has been largely settled by dual clutch autos that out perform the very best manual drivers. I prefer the feel of driving standard, but its not for any performance or fuel economy benefit like it once was.
