Chief, just for insight, i've driven both AT and MT, and whether the car is left-hand or right-hand steering.

Personally, in any case whether it be city- or out-of-town drives or in mountain passes, paved or unpaved roads, on- or off-road, i've always preferred manual tranny vehicles primarily because of the total connection and control with the car. We live in cities, and we always buy manual-tranny cars, by the way.

The only advantage i see with an auto-tranny is the ease of driving when one is having a blow job
