Up until recently, I was of the opinion that I would want an auto in traffic. After realizing how zen-like it has been to drive in traffic while leaving a gap, and observing my MPG rise above my highway economy, I've decided a manual is preferred in stop and go.

Now the only place I would prefer an auto is San Francisco.

I assume "sport". AKA, waste more fuel and still go slow, mode.
