Another nice thing about the 3.0 is a timing chain not belt. I don't know if you've noticed but the automatic actually learns your driving habits and terrain and shifts accordingly (see owners manual). Our subdivision has 60 corners and 1,000 feet elevation change from the main road. When I first moved here the transmission would shift back and forth constantly. But after several weeks it started holding in a lower gear for surprisingly long periods. If you only drove one for a short period of time (say a week or two)it might not have a chance to learn how you drive (which would explain why some people might not like the auto at first). This is my second winter here and I'm pretty sure I could get by fine with a Saab with studded snow tires (I'm holding out for an all new 9-3 or 9-1) but the Subaru is an excellent mountain car and I like it alot.
