Yes!! Without regret. Seriously, try leaving work in Los Angeles at 4pm and getting home at 7PM (after driving some relatives around, etc.). Yea, nothing like three hours of stop-start traffic to start your weekend off.
Seriously, most automatics stink. But THIS automatic does not. It adds a lot of versatility to the car. Shifts are lightning quick. If you put it in Sport mode and leave it in D the auto really shifts like you're racing, instant throttle response, etc. And of course you can always put it in manual mode and use the paddle shifters.
Overall, whether or not you get the auto should be based on the traffic you're in and how you intend to use the car. There's no right or wrong answer. It's just that the auto let's you go nuts when you want to. And when you want to be mellow you can put it in Camry mode and just zone out.
