I have the sentronic in my 9-3SS Aero but am traditionally a manual driver. I bought the auto because I live in the city now and if traffic gets bad being able to just put it in 'D' and forget it is nice. If I had it to do over again I'd still be driving a stick though. The sentronic is nice if you have to have an automatic transmission, but it doesn't equate to the fun or driver engagement of 3 pedals and a stick and heel-toe downshifting, etc. If you need an auto because someone else will be driving the car you won't go wrong with it. I'd learn to drive a manual before spending the money to buy a car with one because you might just decide that you hate it.
