Driving is so much more than how well u change gears. No one here has really put any input on why one is better. Use the one that makes you a better driver. There is an art to paddleshifting as there is to driving manual. Driving manual just gives you the advantage of better burnouts and easier drift capability. The auto is better in really high speed driving courses. As what you drive as a dd. That just depends on personal preference. I personally prefer the new dct and/or pdk over both man or auto. But the nissan 7at tranny is sick imo.
As far as road safety as an arguement. Auto drivers get careless while manual drivers are way to overconfident and have accidents based on plain stupidity. The only reason why statitistics lean toward manual drivers having less accidents is because the ratio of manuals to autos are bias toward autos. A true driving enthusiast who values his driving skill will be good in either tranny.
Manual trannies are being slowly phased out on cars due to autoclutch trannies becoming the preferred choice in sports cars, so 6mt lovers keep your manual cars in mint condition. 20 years from now the manual will be history and you will own a piece of it.
