It's not just the type of car you have. It also depends on where you will be driving ( city or in the country). If you be making stops every couple blocks its better for you to have an automatic but if you are rarely making stops you would get better mileage with a manual.

The manufacture lists the mileage at which the timing belt must be replaced. On vehicles that have an interference engine if the belt breaks you will have serious internal engine damage. The mileage at which it must be changed varies from 60,000 to 110,000 miles. As you did not list your make, model, year, or engine size I can give you no definitive answer.
