Love burning up the roads with the 5MT! Nothin beats controlling the revs on the car. Auto is great in traffic, much better than manuals as we all know, but I have that to thank for making my left foot muscles 10x stronger than before....I cramped the first few times I was in a manual in traffic...

5 speed is what I have been taught on so why change....?

When you can modify it only makes it faster and better.....
