This is my opinion
1. Manual cars are cheap to maintain
2. Manual cars are interesting to drive
3. You are always in control
4. Fuel economy is always better
5. When battery weak you push to start
6. Same when the kickstarter is bad
7. YOU MAKE YOUR FINAL BUYING DECISION

Driving manual cars in stop and start traffic is very annoying but it's possible and even interesting but it takes getting used to
I drive Manual in Lagos but when I see go-slow on an ascension,I cry for my clutch

If you buying for pleasure it's worth it, if you buying for price you will regret it. Driving a manual in Lagos traffic isn't easy, you are not only concentrating you are also calculating
Clutch, change gear to move quickly depress gear to quickly brake, notice that most traffic hits of bumper to bumper it's mostly manual slamming into others.

Manual breaking record back to back

GAZZUZZ:
I sold my kia rio manual and bought same type and colour automatic because of lagos traffic.

Do not buy a manual car in lagos, you will regret it in the short run.

Buy a manual, its fun to drive and keeps u awake. Its not as bad as it looks. I drive a company truck and its manual. Most of the time you do not have to keep the clutch depressed, learn engine braking and stuffs like that. As a matter of fact this is my 8th month in lagos and i want to tell you that i love it. I am looking to pickup a manual car for myself soon. What a man can do, a woman can do as well. It will only make you smarter on the road compared to lazying ar ;Dound applying makeup in traffic like most ladies with automatic car do.

You hardly find manual in foreign countries. Auto everywhere.
Easy to drive. I no fit shout

agarawu23:
Manual has lot of advantage but ppl choose automatic due to less stress.

I won't advice you to put 2m or 2m + on a kia product. Toyota is better.

Not really, most people that want control drive shift stick

Listen to this opinion and you will regret it even the almighty Gazzuzz says no. Yes I will buy a manual and use it in Lagos traffic but I also have an automatic so anytime I know traffic would be cumbersome I just prefer to drive the automatic.
We are talking about traffic here if you are too slow, drivers at the back will "deafen" your ears with horn.
You have to clutch down severally and be perfect at it, too slow your engine will die on you, you have to throw gears perfectly or Rev engine too much if you decide to rough it with gear 1. You are lucky Lagos roads are tarred I remember my days in kano. I was heading to sabon Gari "if you have been to kano you will know how the traffic for the street light by the army barracks just before the zaria road" nah him I follow golf taxis enter uneven road for traffic to climb back was a pain until a good Samaritan offered to wait for me seeing the way I was sweating just to get the car to climb. People won't naturally give way so it becomes hard to accelerate and quickly brake with a manual shift.
