This topic has been hashed over on several occasions, John.  Opinions
seem to be split but generally indicate that the automatic is a more
robust transmission.

I have one of each and I love 'em both ... just for different reasons.
If I'm doing a lot of driving in hilly country or a lot of in-town
driving, the automatic wins hands down.  Being of the old school,
though, I kind of like shifting ... most of the time.
