toughest decision ever!

hey guys i'm pretty new to this forum, i'm 18 and i live in toronto canada. i'm gettin a g35 coupe for university next year (tons of scholarships is how i could afford it) and i can't decide whether to go automatic or manual, one day i'll be like ok auto it is, and then the other day i'll be like manual is the way to go. I'm gonna live on residence next year so driving wont be a necessity but more of an issue of convenience and ofcourse fun as i love to drive. I'm gonna have the car for a while, like 4 years +, so what do you guys suggest i go with?

btw i have very little manual experience, i've driven manual for about 3 hours total lol

thanks in advance for any input!

Manual, you'll regret it if you get auto.

the G is not really a forgiving car if you're just learning how to drive manual...especially in Toronto traffic. take some prefessional lessons and then decide if you really want the manual. but I'd recommend auto for now and then your next car can be the manual.

MT...or you will hate it after a week. with MT you will hate it for a month while learning. But once you learn...its sooo sweet. BTW Im from Rochester and I go up to toronto sometimes...you can guess what color my 6MT is..

Ive also learned on my car...I hated it for the first week or so...after 3 weeks-1 month, Ive mastered shifting smoothly, and oh how I love my coupe. I will NEVER EVER BUY AN AUTOMATIC!

Get a manual is not like you going to be stuck in traffic, but then again auto since you are going to university because your other arm can be used to holding hands with your gf (I really want to say something else but there are kids in this forum )
