My takeaway is this is proof positive that a modern automatic transmission puts a manual to shame, every time. The auto made it out in just 2 tries (let alone, he darn near made it out on Try #1). The manual tranny made 5 attempts, before finally climbing out.
The only reason I can see to buy a manual in today's modern world is purely for nostalgia, like buying a tube amp and a record player. Worse gas mileage, worse off-road capabilities (no torque converter!), and you just can't sip your Starbucks Vente drip, whilst comfortably tooling along!
JM2C, YMMV, and IMHO
