I like manual transmissions in general, but the 9-5 - at least from 2006 onwards - is one of those rare cars that are better with an automatic, IMO.
It isn't the low boost in low gears, more that the overall gear ratios for the manual are out-of-sync with the engine's power curves, while the 5 sp. auto matches them well.
