looking for an answer, newbie question

will get my first used Nissan Maxima 96 SE 5 Speed tomorrow.

I know that Maxima might be the only V6 car with Manual transmission. and my questiion is that why there are still many people like to get a 5 speed maxima instead of Auto? what is the advantage? some people say manual transmission is easy to be damaged by a newbie.

just very curious, maybe my question very silly, please give me some hint if you can!

thanks a lot.

mainteinance would be cheaper and faster. check the price of an auto rebuild vs the price of a clutch replacement. Even if you have to open the manual transmission to replace the bearings or whatever, its still going to be cheaper than overhauling the auto
