I would recommend driving it rather than taking the reviewer's word for it. Most of the complaints come from those that think the car should only come with a manual.
The AT in the 86 is definitely the best AT I've ever driven, sports car or otherwise. The only real "problem" with it is launch control, but unless your wife will be drag racing, I don't see how that should matter.
My post will be followed immediately by a slew of individuals telling you how wrong I am, but that's OK. I have 60,000 miles on the AT so I think I qualify to give it a proper review. I also have several 100,000 miles driving manual transmissions.
I don't miss the MT in the 86 a bit, particularly as a daily driver.
