I think that the reason why the auto is recommended is because it is such a nice one. I used to drive my old Mazda 626, my '70 Ford F-100, my 91 bronco, all of which are stick, and I swore I would never own an auto the rest of my life. Then I drove my '99... as stated above, a good big toe can give you just as much control as a stick, but with the pleasure of driving an auto during, say, rush hour traffic where shifting becomes a nuisance. because of the location of the lever for the auto, I sill use it to do all of my old tricks, like downshifting to slow down. I still dislike other autos, like what is in my dads truck, and will prefer driving the 5speed mini van (yes it is a manual), which I am borrowing from my mom while my car is in the shop getting some new doors. But boy do I miss my automatic Saab. Give the auto a chance take it for a test drive, see for yourself what it is like.
