Which transmission do you prefer? and why?

in my opinion id prefer a manual car as its more challenging and fun...
where as and automatic car is less motivating and more boring.

Cars fitted with a manual transmission last longer, are faster and more economical.

Every advantage in the world.

Manual, because:

- Its easier to maintain a constant speed, esp. downhill
- No need to ride brakes downhill
- Throttle response is FAR better, i.e. there is no micro-delay when you step on the pedal
- Superior reliability. If you don't mind double-clutching, you can make a manual gearbox last forever
- Less maintenance costs
- Cheaper to buy new
- More fun

I just switched from 2 years of exclusively driving a prehistoric manual car to a newer car, and the difference in the way you have to drive is massive.
