    I have gone back and forth on this subject as well. My advice is if you Street Drive it most of the time the T5 is more fun. If you want a consistent track car then go auto.

    I think for the amount of driving and especially the longer trips you do in your car you will be more happy with a stick! If you were just going to drive the car locally and go to the track every weekend i would do the auto.
