I don't really have anything against them, I'm just enjoying the 3 pedals while I can. I had an automatic XJ in college and it was a very straightforward experience offroading. I tackled a lot with confidence. If I had to choose between a new automatic and a used manual, it would be a tough choice (made extra tough by the diesel). My current enthusiasm comes from the Ford Focus/Fiesta transmission fiasco. I couldn't believe I had an undriveable car with only 500 miles since the last repair and they refused to honor any sort of warranty on their work. Being in my 20's, I didn't think I could afford a lawyer and the time to seek satisfaction. My wife has a diesel Colorado now, and it is very nice to drive. I would still enjoy an automatic diesel wrangler, I'd just spend the money up front on axle shafts!that is what I used to say until I test drove the diesel. I've never owned an automatic vehicle in almost 30 years of driving and I now bought an automatic.
