Guys, gotta ask what`s you all opinion. currently i`m driving an old proton manual gear, 60% City(KL)/40% hiway(KL <-> Penang once a month). And now i Plan to get a Myvi SE1.5 next year.
What`s in my mind is, stick back to manual cause i used to it. But my friend tell me Now days should go for Auto.

Why manual (me) :-
1. Cheaper (5 years loan cheaper rm100 monthly compare to auto)
2. In hiway when want to overtake a car, turn to 4th gear, get the speed up quickly, same story when go genting.
3. lower maintenance.
4. lower FC

Why Auto (Friend) :-
1. In city drive will not build up my left leg muscle.
2. Easy pizy 1 leg kick driving style.
3. higher resell value.

Any master of Auto and manual can give me some words on the decision should i make?
Thanks for reading my newbie questions.
