Funny you should mention that because early on I got lambasted on the forum (not by HotLava) for suggesting I would just as soon have a manual window option rather than paying for and having to maintain the power windows/locks.
This subject has been beat to death but one more time...
I selected the 6AT because I like the way it performs and the options it gives me when driving. It is just as "engaging" in manual mode as the 6MT to me, and retains much of that engagement even when driving in "D". In fact, its more engaging because in "M" you have to downshift through all the gears, not just coast through a few on the way to a stop.
My left left leg even participates on occasion by engaging the dead-pedal.
But, heh, if you like and/or require the MT, great for you. I don't think anyone that has the AT is going to start calling you names or anything. Too bad it doesn't work the other way all the time.
