as an LA owner of a 2000 9-5 aero who took aero academy and who's always been a stick driver, i'd say STRONGLY consider the auto.
forget taking off quickly at a light with the manual. crucial driving skill in LA. but 1st gear is kinda off. you get going quicker with the auto so you'll probably do better with it.
plus the auto is EXCELLENT. you'll be happier. for those rare times you want a manual, you can either plug it into sport mode, which is excellent, or use the manual mode and the Formula 1 style paddles. we put these cars through the paces and i never felt held back by the auto. on the contrary, it allowed me to just drive.
wagon is a great idea, by the way, it handles better. next 9-5 for me will be aero auto wagon.
