A manual or auto twin will both get way better gas mileage than your gas-hog Jeep, the auto will get a few mpg better in some situations... If you really want the auto and have no interest in driving a manual because of traffic, that’s fine... just get the auto. Nobody is going to convince anybody one way or another. Either you enjoy the extra connection to the car and involvement in the driving experience that a manual transmission offers, or you prefer the more laid back experience that an auto offers... neither is wrong, it’s just a matter of personal preference.

I already have learned to drive a manual, it’s not rocket science. Just lean towards not wanting to daily, big deal. I already stated in early original post since you said you read them that this next car will be second vehicle to my Jeep that sucks gas. I love my Jeep regardless of gas, I can go anywhere I want and my convertible is better than any Miata, my doors come off whenever I want. With that said, I want a second dd that’s fun to drive and good on gas and already said I plan on testing MT and AT both.
