Hi,
Taking into consideration the Indian road and traffic scenario in which gear shift is the maximum, automatic transmission is a good option as its increases mileage to some extent as well as wear & tear of the gear assembly apart from the ease of driving.

Hi,
Automatic transmission versions have the advantage of easier handing due to absence of clutch pedal and also ease of changeing gears.Also handling manual gear version wont be much of difficulty provided practice for a while.

Auto transmission is easy on hands but hard on purse!
The mileage in city driving will be 30 to 40% lower than similar car model of manual gear. But if you are driving mostly in bumper to bumper driving in heavy peak hour traffic, auto transmission cars are easy and fatigue free although you burn more fuel than manual counterpart. So choose your options.
