Great car.

However, stick-shift may, in time, become an annoying burden if you do a
lot of in-town driving. Stick-shift will also make the car very difficult
to sell (for you or a dealer) come trade-in time. In a recent survey
barely 10% of the driving public claimed to know how to drive a stick. Of
the 90% who didn't, only 3% expressed they "might be interested in
learning someday".

To & from school and to & from work or the supermarket is one thing.
Earning your living behind the wheel (sales calls, service calls,
deliveries, investigative work, etc.,) or an unusually active lifestyle
and you may someday start to dread driving the thing.

Good choice of cars.
Bad choice of transmission.
I'd strongly recommend the automatic.
