The manual will never be as fast or intelligent as the automatic, whereas the auto will never give you the same sense of engagement with the drivetrain, even with the paddles or the shift knob in "manual" mode. Think it through yourself, line up the pros and cons, then if you still want a manual transmission, make your move. It seems you aren't a true stick shift enthusiast, so my prediction is there will always be something to yearn for about the "other" choice, that's one thing you'll simply need to live with. (No, I'm not a psychologist, this is just my personal 2 cents'.)
Swiftly blipping the accelerator to the floor is as close as it gets to a physical activation button IMO. In fact, it's arguably even better, because you 1) don't have to look for it with your fingers or look away from the road, and 2) you can't press it by accident.

Actually I really wanted the manual, I was saying Manual or no car, but you know the A10 is not bad and I rushed the decision.
I had only manuals until after I turned 30yo. I don't mind autos in any of my DD cars. I though it was going to be fine with the A10 in the camaro but I guess not.
