Overall I really like the simplicity, lighter weight and extra space underhood with manual.

But....I don't like the slow steering ratio very much.

With a stick shift I like driving power steering better, it's just easier to whip the car around with one hand on the shifter, and the faster ratio
is more comfortable for me.....even though it comes with the downside of usually being overboosted and lacking quite a bit in road feel.

My GTX was originally PS, I converted to manual decades ago but might go back to power someday.
