I think manual is only good if you have surroundings where you can use it to drive economically. With the traffic, bad roads and everything, I would not enjoy driving manual in the DR. In EU, I only drive stick shift and on the highway you can really save a lot, but the traffic/roads/you name it is totally different there. I'm keeping pretty good care of our torque converter, but I admit, there are many places where I would be guilty to cause excessive wear on a traditional clutch in the DR... Obviously, it's a question of practice and skills, but still...
