manual and matic transmission have there good points and bad points
manual
- ok mileage
- fun to drive kasi pede mo ibirit kada gear
- mejo nakakapagod pag traffic dahil sa clutch
- pwede mo itulak pag naubusan ka ng battery
- mejo mas simple ang maintenance

matic
- some say boring , pero minsan depende sa sayo yun eh
for me pag long drive yes its boring , pero pag traffic its a divine gift
- im not sure kung pano maintenance ng matic coz i havent tried pa
- gas consumption slightly higher

given this , yung choice mo eh magiging depende sayo , kung mejo sporty type ka and you dig or gsto mo yung mejo nakakainit ng dugo manual :D pero kung mejo laid back or you just drive for transportation matic :D pero still its your choice sir . just sharing my opinion :D
