You'll just find yourself being frustrated if you don't drive it as often and don't get to know it well enough. I say go with one of the other options.
I'd disagree with this. I was new to the car and didn't have any of these issues, and neither do I now.

Of course I learned to drive manual with this one, so YMMV OP.
