With Subaru outbacks the manual is the only one which comes with low-range option (good for steep hills, bad surfaces etc.) You don't get that with the manual.
You seem to have rejected corollas. Was there a reason?

Corollas -any special reason to consider them? priced slightly higher, reviews are so-so. Only Saloon are avaialable here so that would be an issue -do they even do a hatchback any more/over here? The Yaris would be the Toyota offering in the size we are looking at and that is generally poorly reviewed, but I think beest is planning to give one a go....

Handling, safety, power, control, economy ... but really this:
Now go and do a google image search for "how I feel driving an automatic" with the quote marks. I only got two pics ... have a look at the other one. WTF?

Limited choices is good. There are way too many choices.....

Manual transmission is superior in every situation except stop and go traffic on the highway. That gets really old after even just a couple of minutes.
