I have a 2000 9-5 SE - Auto w/ V6 - and I like it very much. I too was drawn to the manual, but in the end I am very happy with the auto. With "sport" mode engaged it is very responsive and quick. I don't know if it is compariable to the aero, but it does get up there and move. It is also very smooth.
As much as I like the "fun" factor in a manual (I drove an early 80's Audi 5000 in college - a manual and it ), I am glad I have an auto. It's smooth and responsive, the gas milage is proabably a bit better, but I can 't imagine more than few mpg. All in all, for what it's worth, I can povide a positive reference on the auto.
