If your main moves will be within a city then go for the auto.
However with the auto transmission you will need to refuel more frequently especially if you are not familiar with the automatic as the consumption is slightly higher. With manual you can reduce speed by dropping a gear thus giving some more extra life to your brakes whereas the auto transmission vehicles use more the braking system to cut down speed. BUt again you are going for a Mercedes. Mercedes in my opinion has the best braking system in the world. The manual again is for a more sporty and aggressive driving. If I were you, even if the automatic needs more maintenance I would go for it. You will still have the speed.It's a mercedes.
