I like manual transmissions the best, cheaper and more reliable, never had one go bad.

I had two manual transmissions go bad. '85 Toyota Corolla; '01 Toyota Rav4. 5th gear synchro on both of them. Found out after the Rav4 went that lots of people have had problems with that.

I dont keep cars after about 100K miles (lots of lights and traffic here) because I find more and more things start breaking after that. The exception is keeping it as a spare car not driven much.

I got 90+K on my Toyoda and it works fine. My last car was a toyoda and I dumped it about 110K and had to replace the clutch once, at about 95K

Most automatic transmissions will outlast the car. So will the manual transmission, but not the clutch.
