I prefer the Autostick because I spend most of my time in bumper to bumper traffic.

I find that the Autostick isn't as responsive as I'd like it to be when I'm pushing it hard in "manual" mode. There is a bit of a delay between when you tap the Autostick, and when it shifts.

You should probably ask yourself why you prefer the stick. Do you REALLY want control with a race-responsive transmission, or is it just habit.

If it's just habit, and your driving conditions warrant an auto, the Autostick may be a good transition into the Automatic world.
