I have a '97 900S 2.3L auto and I generally like it. No problems of any kind but some shifts can be abrupt (when the vehicle is cold). Also, when you really throttle it, the upshifts aren't as quick as they should be. As for daily driving acceleration, the car has just enough because of the flat torque curve of the engine and the torque multiplication effect of the torque converter. Usually the shifts are just the way I like them though.
The only time I need more power is when I'm getting on the highway with a full load and the A/C on. Funny thing is, I think it revs lower at highway speeds than an equivalent 5 spd manual version so you should save some fuel on the highway.
