I'm from Europe, I was taught on manual transmission and drove with it for 10 years. But I switched to automatic (actually not on purpose, I didn't notice the car I was buying had it), and now vastly prefer it.
I don't care what people say, automatic is superior.
It depends. Semi-nice car? Hands down.
Cheap underpowered econobox? Manual is usually better. They cheap out on the automatic transmission. No es bueno.
Eg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_PowerShift_transmission#Faulty_operation
I knew someone that has that issue on their Fiesta, luckily that was only for those specific vehicles.
