No complaint at all with the auto in my book, as long as you understand the OverDrive Off button, when you should use it, and what it can do for you.
It's handy for extra engine braking when traffic begins to slow ahead of you, and for extra kick when you're trying to merge or pass. That's what it can do for you.
Using it when climbing grades, towing, and other times when the engine is under load for more than a brief period will go a long way towards taking care of the tranny by keeping the temp down due to the torque converter being unlocked.
I tried to persuade my wife to go for a manual, but she's never driven one and has no intention of it, so we got an auto. I was disappointed, but I've come to appreciate it, especially off-road. No worries trying to finesse the clutch between stalling and spinning the tires, though I wouldn't mind the extra engine braking that the manual has downhill.
