a big factor here is how much power do you have to work with ? with something like a 3126b cat your foot is always to the floor so you might as well have an auto trans !
Reliabilty?= manual trans
ease of operation and confort = auto trans
fun (till you are in rubber neck traffic) manual!
Although I have never had trouble with the "hard" mechanical parts of big autos , I have had trouble with the electrical and computer part of them !
