Auto with paddles. I’ve done some commutes using only my paddles and even that gets annoying pretty quick so pure manual definitely isn’t for me. The culture around “manual good auto bad” even when modern autos perform better than manuals certainly doesn’t make a manual any more appealing. I don’t doubt a pure manual can be more fun and I know it isn’t about performance but the culture is just toxic and cringe sometimes.
