Manual or Automatic transmission?

#22
Maybe is something instilled in the culture of my country, but I really don't get why people buy cars with automatic transmission
- Less driving pleasure
- Feels like the car is driving you, not you driving the car
- Maintenance costs much more
- Consumes more
Those are some of the big motivations that come into my mind. I get the fact that is more comfy and easy but still... Where I come from is associated to women and I think the same, why should you do that?

Give me your thoughts
automatic car is more practical when you live in crowded city since you are not hassled to keep changing the gears
