Out of curiosity, what are the reasons for the spread of the automatic gearbox in the US - it's unlike anywhere else I've been.
Personally, I prefer it, especially if you have to deal with heavy traffic, constant declutching is quite litterally a pain. There is some satisfaction to driving on country roads with lots of turns with lots of heavy use of the gears, but I'd rather do that in a sport's car than my everyday car (which is also not automatic)
Like Rand I have never owned an automatic car.
