Why manual is superior, in general when comparing manual versus automatics on the same car:
1. Better gas mileage
2. Manual transmissions are lighter than automatics
3. Cheaper - automatics are an upgrade option
4. Cheaper to maintain - require less scheduled maintenence
5. Cooling - automatic transmissions overheat easier
6. Gear ratios are generally longer in automatics - slower
So to drive an automatic, you pay more for gas, your car gets worse gas mileage, weighs more, is slower, costs more to maintain, costs more to buy, and is more likely to overheat.
Have fun kiddos.
