It depends on the car. If it's a 2 door or a 2 seater, go manual. If it's a 4 door or a soccer mom car, go auto.

Do you have a particular reason to consider getting a standard, e.g., you think it would be more fun to drive? If this is your suspicion but you don't know because of your limited manual experience, why don't you rent a stickshift for a few days to see how you like it?

I_AM_EVIL is right. if its a car thats supposed to go fast get a manual otherwise u have to get an automatic. spending time in traffic with a manual is not good.
