Manual is the way to go. It really gives you the "go-kart feeling", you won't regret it.

Wrong car for auto box. Takes away the feeling of the car. Stay manual and try and keep the extras to a minimum, more weight equals less of the go cart feel.

I actually test drove the automatic with my sister this past weekend and thought it was terrible. For a girl commuting to work, maybe. But for someone (guy or girl) wanting performance, no way.
