IMO, cars with sticks last longer than auto trans. cars. You will go through brake pads many times over on an auto trans. vs. a manual trans. Manuals get better gas mileage, too.
I HIGHLY recommend getting an engine with TURBO. You get power when you want it but can drive conservatively to get better gas mileage if so desired.
I am FULL of advice and perhaps maybe full of IT. LOL

You also get shorter oil change intervals, unless you like replacing turbochargers on a regular basis. :)

That will vary from car to car. Also, when buying a used car with manual transmission, you may have clutch issues VERY quickly, as your clutch habits will be different than the previous owners. I made the mistake of getting a used Honda, and the clutch lasted all of one week.

Brakes are always easier and cheaper to replace than a clutch.
