It's a tough debate for me. It really depends on how bad traffic does get in the OC/LA area.
What should be a 20 minute drive to work is easily 45min to an hour, and this is with the widened I-5 freeway towards Irvine as it is.
Would it suck to not drive manual on a canyon? Absolutely. I actually wish I could have a 6MT with a "crawler gear" of sorts, where I can hang onto that one gear without 1st gear screaming at 25mph. Even the MKII MR2 N/A tranny 2nd gear pulls from 5mph up to 40mph easily, but I'd rather have a 1st gear that isn't screaming by 25mph like I do right now.
If the auto shifts anything near like a DSG or PDK, I might just switch. It's a different kind of "attacking" driving style.
