On a new car, the only real reason to get the manual option is the fun factor IMO. Nothing like executing a perfect heel/toe downshift, rev-matching your downshift, nailing that perfect 1-2 and 2-3 shift at redline and barking the tires, it takes skill to get 100% out of a manual gearbox.

The Nissan 370Z (and perhaps a few other manual transmissions) have a built-in feature that automatically matches engine-revs on the downshifts so you don't have to double-clutch or heel-and-toe. Frrom what I can remember the last time I drove a 370Z, that feature can be turned off if you want to do it (or try to do it LOL) the old-fashioned way. .
