I don't think the TSX is available with manual...at least, the last I checked.
Automatics are a convenience. If that is your thing, that is your thing. It's wholly an American thing, obviously. My Chrysler dealer I work for hardly even sells manual vehicles, aside from big-ass trucks.
Manuals are, however, cheaper, less prone to failure, require less maintenance, and much more durable. Not to mention probably force you to pay more attention when driving.
They also, generally, benefit from greater gas mileages. But with the circumvent of newer, more efficient, computer controlled 5, 6, 7, and even 8 gear automatics, along with electronic throttle controls, that might soon be going out the window. Not to mention those mileage claims are greatly based on good driving habits. And when you have that many gears, automatics can accelerate between all the gears faster than manual input could, unless you're driving a Ferrari with electronic clutch....
Jam it back in, in the dark.
