I have driven many manuals and here are my thoughts, putting aside the "fun factor" as that is a matter of personal preference, when driving an auto, especially with tap shift and the two hands and feet god gave you, you have the ultimate control. You can brake, accelerate ,shift and steer simotaneously without ever disengaging your drivetrain, this disengaging and re-ingaging your drivetrain is what gives the undesireable charecteristics when shifting in corners. These charecteristics although not completely eliminated, are drastically reduced allowing precise shifting and control.
