I have the auto and sometimes I'm glad and other times I wish I had the manual. I was dealing with buying a leftover 2013 very late in the year so my options were limited. If I could have gotten the limited in WRB with a manual I would have. That said, I find the auto very responsive and drive almost exclusively in manual mode.

Ya I agree really but still had to throw it into the mix as a "paper spec" since they are actually quite different. I have beat the manual combined mileage "on paper" rate by 4 or 5 mpg since I got the car (mostly highway on cruise)
