Well, everyone pretty much summed it up, but: I have the auto because my wife doesn't drive stick, and I am constantly dropping it into 3, and 2 and to be honest, it works surprisingly well. And driving around town in 3 with sport mode on and the top down is a blast.
One major point is the off-the-line acceleration. For the first three or four feet, I've honestly been in lawn mowers that are faster. But once it kicks in, it's fun. This can be adjusted via an ECU upgrade though (again, make sure the auto can handle it) but kiss your warranty bye-bye (on engine related claims).
As happy as I would be driving the manual tranny I wanted, watching my wife drive with a huge smile on her face is worth the sacrifice.
