As much as I would enjoy an S 6 speed, the tip is better for my situation. Because the steering wheel only adjusts in and out, I am too tall for the manual. And the wife's driving style is better suited for the auto also. LA freeway driving is also better served with an auto.

The auto steering wheel buttons took some getting used to, but now I regularly drive in manual mode and find the shifting to be more than adequate for the tight twisty local mountain driving I do for fun.

I am happy to read that most believe the auto to be a well built unit. One of the local Indy mechanics, who has a history with my car, declared the autos to be "garbage." He didn't qualify his declaration. Perhaps he was pumping me for a trans flush cha-ching.
