I hate not having a manual anymore. This is my 7th vehicle and 1st with an auto. I have a 4-hour round trip commute everyday with a lot of stop and go. The manual was much better in the traffic.
My '97 6cyl. Explorer with auto never wants to downshift. It is a pain getting any power out of this thing once I get over 45mph. My last truck was a '99 4cyl Mazda 5spd. At least with that I could just drop a gear and go.
