I never looked back.

Not trying to impose my preference but only noting my experience.
maybe when I'm older I'll get there. I bought a new car last January and went with automatic. I wanted a manual but I also wanted leather and a sunroof, so I went auto. Less than 8 months later i couldnt take it any more. I traded it for a manual transmission. Pretty dumb but I coudn't help it.
