The added control and responsive that an experienced driver can pull out of an MT car isn't worth trading the convenience of the AT for me, given that over 80% of my driving is in Makati and at Global City. Admittedly, there are are times when I wished I had a MT transmission - case in point was during a trip to Tagaytay this weekend - but those happen fairly infrequently, and the rest of the time I'm happy with the choice I've made.
