I guess you don't drive in snow or lot's of traffic. Manual cars are *****. Yes I agree that the fun factor is a lot higher in manual car, but believe, after driving manual for 10 years, I switch to auto and love it much more. If I had an integra then I would rather have a manual car but c'mon this is a benz. You should be chilling while driving. I got auto.

I drive in lots of traffic and i dont think the manual is that much of a pain. I had a C300 auto for a month as a loaner and hated it.

For me, a manual transmission is the only way to go. It doesn't matter how good automatics or automated manuals get, it is simply more engaging and fun to drive a manual.

I'd rather have manual over auto, but went auto cause if you've ever driven in LA traffic every day for work........
auto for daily driver, manual for fun weekend cars.

I do drive in snow and prefer the manual as I have more control over the engine....and I still get to chill...I'm not shifting when I'm cruising down the highway for 10 miles to work.
I wish they made more mercedes in manual, because when my lease is up there is no car for me to upgrade into so I will prob get a 335 coupe or used S5.

If they had not offered this car with a manual, I would not have purchased a Benz. I like everything about it, but that was my deciding factor. I am not a kid, but I am a bit immature. And I especially like to control my car. 
Oh, check the threads on the C300 manual and C350 dyno runs for kicks.

There is nothing wrong with the c300 being a manual, im sure it is more responsive than an auto. But think about it, if I wanted a little speed or action I might as well bought an evo or e46 m3 to take care of that. Its no doubt that Mercedes has came a long way in performance. But c'mon a c300 or c350 it not an offical sports car but more of a luxury performance cruiser. Like I said the money you have invested into these cars are for good reason. And I sure as hell dont plan on racing it even if I did have manual c300. Get a real sports car to do that, and let the benz be as it is

C350
its not even about racing. talking about buying manual in a evo or sti they cost about the same price as a c300 or more. but for that price you get a mercedes and have manual for fun of it. evo engine sure burn out fast and dont last long. why not spend your money for something good? maybe some people like driving manual more then auto.
