I added it up, on my 21mi commute, I'd shift a 5spd over 150 times. Would I still buy a manual, in a word, yes.
That said, my wife, She Who Must Be Obeyed, isn't very good with one. If I need the Legacy for some reason, she can't go anywhere. That makes the Auto a more logical choice for my life.
Sometimes, life makes your choices for you. But I wouldn't have it any other way.
