I'm using stick, love the feeling of being more in control of the car although wouldnt mind driving an auto, currently driving a BMW 3 series (2012) which is my sibling's.

I ride a motorcycle so I can't really judge regarding cars.
But I think riding auto doesn't really qualify as actual driving. (if you understand what I'm trying to say)

Everyone can brake and accelerate.
Riding stick atleast requires some "skill" :p

If you learn to drive a manual, you can drive both a manual car AND auto, whereas someone who learns using an auto dosent have a clue when the time comes to drive a manual. This is what I've always been taught anyways :p

Auto with paddle shifters is fun, thats all I use, still love rev matching.

That's the semi autos, kind of expensive option for some cars.

Manual's great but one of these days if I have the money I may get a Cadillac with auto, my grandma had an impressive luxury car and it felt like driving on a cloud.

With a luxury its defintely better choice to use an auto.

Manual all day every day. Especially for those learning, go Manual switching from manual to auto will always be 1000x easier than auto to manual! + Manual cars, you've got more control can feel the car more.

It's always best to start with manual.

And in the UK it's illegal for someone who passed on Auto to drive a manual.

auto, if your racing or driving a turbo the auto keeps you in boost, the powerband on a non turbo car, u can keep both hands on the wheel, its more convenient u never miss a gear

Where did I say it isn't driving?
But I guess you didn't understand what I tried to say...

That's true, I have seen car racing, they use semi auto's with paddle shifters over a manual.

But, for me personally, It depends on the vehicle and situation.
