I seem to be in the middle on this one. Every other car I have owned has been a manual. The manual ones were much more fun but the autos are great for traffic.

I don't know what's up with paddles, though; either you love them, or you hate them, there is no peron in-between the two that I have met. But, most people don' have to worry about that since they are (were?) only available in ridiculously-expensive sports/luxury autos.
My car has them. I hardly ever use them. Too easy to forget after being on straights for awhile as mine will down shift automatically. Drive away from the stop sign and wonder what the whining sound is.
They do make it a different car on the twisty parts though.
