I can't imagine anything more decisive than the trans preference. I love the A8 in my 17 GS... but I drive mine a lot and live in an area with horrendous traffic. As much as I like shifting (this is my first auto sports car), the A8 was really the only choice for me.

From someone who's owned 20 or so manuals I agree that a manual is more fun when you feel like wring it out. For an everyday car though, this gets old though. Right now my Corvette is an automatic, it gets used a lot. My last one was an M7 Z06/Z07. It didn't get used a lot.

My C7 is an A8, yet no stranger to a stick (millennial anti theft device). Learned to drive a ‘39 Ford PU with a granny gear and mechanical brakes, owned a 2002 BMW (Drove it like it was designed to be driven), two Miatas, several motorcycles plus others..On the down hill slide to 80, an automatic is fine with me.
