FWIW, when I test drove the car, I drove an MT, and I had trouble getting the car into 6th gear. Dunno if it was because I'd never driven a 6spd and wasn't used to how the box was laid out (came from a 5 spd) or if the transmission needed more break in.

Probably a combination of both.

Most trannys do but that is when they are actually moving not sitting with the car off.

Modern automatics, smart phones and facebook are turning us into meatheads. My steering feels somewhat vague in the driveway.
