Everyone said get the manual so I got the auto. Only dead fish go with the stream.

But seriously, this is almost a religious issue. I guess what works for one is not understodd by another necessarily. I have a manual Subaru, and in traffic I hate shifting gears every 5 seconds. Today I took the Z on a straight road and did rather well with the paddles, but I am still learning. Maybe if the throw was shorter on the gearbox I'd like it. Both manual and auto had their advantages and neither transmission was a selling point by itself. The only thing I HAD to have was Nav.

All in all this is a "grass is greener" issue. Had I got the 6MT I'd be googling the 7AT features. Guess I need both. :>
