You don't need to make changes right away to have a useful tool.
The AT has (or had anyway) a slightly taller final drive ratio in the differential and better mpg.
Also, the AT seems to be a solid unit with no wide-spread reports of falling apart.
The flappy paddles in manual mode work fine and it rev matches on downshifts. Woot!
Try one out and give it a chance.

Yeah, even a couple of hardcore MT Youtuber reviewers were very impressed with ‘17 AT’s. Regardless of transmission, I’m just pleasantly surprised how cheap you can buy one brand new. I’d probably go base and put my own wheels and later upgrade interior and whatever else.
