Manual vs. Auto

[littlecarlove]

I was thinking of getting one with auto.
I can drive a standard, in fact every car I’ve own was a standard.
Oops. Just lied - I had a 1967 Mercury Monterey in college that was
an auto. Anyway, I haven’t had one in a long time and I’m tired of
working both hands and feet driving.
I haven’t done a test drive yet - going tomorrow. I might not get a
chance to test drive both transmissions since they are so scarce. Those
of you that have driven both - what did you think? Which did you
choose to buy?

Oh, my driving habits are on the boring side too, but I still want to be able
to pull out in traffic of course. I guess I’m asking is the auto too sluggish
in your opinion?
