i bought an AT and i dont regret it at all, even tho i first learned to drive in a MT. I honestly think the MT vs AT fuel economy debate will become a moot point as the technology gets better. In my AT i still get 32-34mpg and 95-97% of my driving is IN THE CITY!!!!

I get better gas mileage in the city than the highway as I am able to take advantage of DFCO and such techniques which I cannot do on the highway. I am getting pretty good at timing red lights in the city .... it all helps.

The automatic transmission does usually equate to better resale...BUT..."ATs last so much longer"....ARE YOU JOKING?....Re all the cars I've owned I've NEVER replaced a Manual Transmission nor had one go out, but let the tow driver keep an automatic transmission car I inherited when the transmission gave out. All of the people I know, as a whole, have owned a much higher percentage of automatic transmission cars than I have and many have had to replace those transmissions. The ones with manual transmissions....not one replacement needed. The first car I got to drive to school when I got my license (an old, old 67 Firebird Convertible that my dad had as an extra car) before finishing saving up to buy my own car, went through three automatic transmissions in the few years my dad owned it. |

Yarisworld member trini_per4mance didn't replace his clutch until after 440k ++ miles. His most recent 'inclusive maintenance post' includes what he's done up to 6-25-2012. I don't think CNN would have profiled his car unless they were satisfied he's legit.
