Both mechanical and now electronic failures with all the dct and computer involvement.
Manuals may also weigh less.
The fewer automatics and turbos in my garage the better.
Manuals keep it simple (plus fun)!

There are autos in here stock that are 600+ whp. Imo breakage is not an issue. My stalled geared and tired l99 is a blast on the street. I've been driving manuals 34 years so when I comment its from both sides . Most commenting about the auto in the l99 haven't been in one that has an aggressive trans tune or bolt ons. Is a manual a blast to drive? Sure...but my car the way it is won't lose any fun factor points against a manual.
