gunz4me - I am around the same age with similar circumstances. My 2013 7AT has done me well.

A few things to share from my 3 months of ownership.

I had to have the dealer reflash my computer to fix an issue with the transmission dropping out of gear (5th I believe) in manual mode. There are a few others on here that had the same issue. Basically you shift up and then the car starts to disagree with your choice of gears.

I also strongly suggest that when you go for your test drive you try the manual mode. Great transmission but I think requires a full understanding to take advantage of or else it just seems awkward initially.

Since my computer reflash - Things have been really smooth.

Got My 370 Z at age 62 and I'm still enjoying it very much at age 65---even more now in retirement. 7 speed automatic is plenty exciting, especially with the paddles if you're in the mood. But test drive it first to be sure your knee can handle getting in and out. Fortunately, I have no such problems.
