Manuals are fading/have faded away.
I count myself as a car enthusiast and drove manuals as daily drivers for 20 years. That’s enough of that.
For a weekend/hobby car, if you like the nostalgia, go for it. If you are talking about your daily driver, get any of the wonderfully competent and sporty auto transmission vehicles.
ZF and Aisin are at the top of the auto transmission field in my view. Mercedes is below average for most models.
