You will feel much better, less tired, and less frustrated. The extra cost may be 70 K and the FE penalty of around 1 kmpl. But that is a extremely sensible tradeoff for better quality of life (that is if you drive on your own).
personally i get a lot of pain on the left knee due to clutch usages in bangalore, though i leave early to office < 8:30am, so i would recommend an automatic, though its not the kinds which will pump your adrenalin

and vasu, how much did you your corolla cost and what mileage does it give?
