Should I use manual or automatic transmission in my Kia Soul?

I just got a new Kia Soul and I'm wondering which type of transmission would be better for my car. I have heard mixed opinions and would appreciate some advice.

It ultimately depends on your personal preference and driving style. If you enjoy a more hands-on driving experience and prefer more control over your car, then manual transmission may be the better option for you.

On the other hand, if you live in a heavily congested area or have a long daily commute, automatic transmission may be more convenient for you. It allows for smoother and easier driving in traffic.
