Flitzer wanted, how bad does automatic effect?

my BMW e36 was a good idea as the first car, but a few things bother me about it and I have, well, “ps licked”. Now I’m looking for a flicker for me, important is: 4/5 door and it should have a good look, i.e. limos like BMW e60, Audi a4/a6 etc. I noticed the Mercedes c32 AMG , only one thing makes me stutzig: automatic my father vomits with his Mercedes E-Class with 130hp about that you just don’t get away from the spot, how can I see but with significantly more PS off? Is automatic still so “corrosive”? I had thought that I would like to spend less than 10,000€, because I am 19 and only have the rags for half a year and I think that it could happen to me times that I make a scratch when parked in or something like that, so first a cheaper where no high harm arises when I walk on a wall. I do not drive long distances, therefore a higher fuel consumption does not matter to me, all However, I would still like to stay in the Berreich under 12l combined.
