Well like I said, you've basically got full control over what your car's doing. Manuals generally get better fuel economy, although that depends on how much lead is placed upon the accelerator pedal .
And they're so much fun!! Plus doing heel-toe downshifts sounds cool as, and if you practise enough your gear changes can become smoother than any automatic gearbox will ever achieve. Of course, this is influenced by the quality of the clutch and gearbox.
