personally i think the auto is better in offroad situations, but of course the 6 speed is more fun to drive. i have an auto and i love the offroad potential!

Went with a stick under my wife and I's compromise.
I was budging on nothing but a rubicon and she wouldn't except an automatic.
All in all I'm happy with how things worked out.

I have an auto for many reasons, one being the wife doesnt drive manual and she needs to drive me home when I'm drinking. Another is auto is easier towing, and lastly, I have a screwed up left knee and race dirt bikes,, If I mess it up riding I'd like to still be able to drive home..

Auto - No problem! I'd be hating life if I had to clutch through these construction zone traffic nightmares every day!
