I commute in rush hour traffic 45-60+ minutes each way in my manual transmission M4. Just leave some buffer space to the guy in front of you so you're not on and off the clutch as often.

In my opinion, it's not worth giving up the fun of driving a manual because of a commute. Hell, I'd go buy a beater for commuting before I'd give up that feeling of downshifting to second gear and going WOT.

I also drive 45-60 minutes each way in my manual. My commute is only 11 miles each way, I'll keep my car another 5 years or so but it's wearing on me as fun as it is to drive.

If I can afford an m3 I will definitely consider the manual but unfortunately I am siding towards the darkside
