Well, he said his transmission is dying so he's going to need to replace it anyway, and I would assume a manual is cheaper than an automatic (just because the new cars are..I don't know for a fact since I don't do a whole lot with cars). However, I could be wrong.
My car has a triptronic transmission (automatic and manual in one) so I can use it as a manual or an automatic depending on what I want. Regardless, my car has a ton of torque and horsepower (99' Honda Prelude VTEC Type SH) so I don't notice that big a difference from acceleration in automatic to manual.
