As a 51 year old man, who has owned both the manual and automatic cars and trucks my entire life. Here is what I consider. When I decide I ant to take a nice but short twenty mile drive in an evening maybe to go to the store. Which will I decide to hop into and take? Well, even though I like the nice older manual truck I have a whole lot more then my Ford Exploder EB. The Ford wins out, simply because most the time I don't feel like dealing with the traffic and a manual anything. But when I want and need the truck, it's more for fun and drives that take me places I may find some car goodies.
So, I agree with the person who said let the price and over all condition and other factors decide for you. Also consider that the automatic can and always will shift better than a human will. But again, I'd like to own either one., Just no black cars (owned to many) or silver cars. Popular, but remembering of the peeling paint from the eighties still causes a twitch in my left eye socket.
This is only my opinion, and by no means correct or even accurate. Mike
