I have no complaints with the auto. I went back and forth during my purchase decision and then test drove the auto and really liked it. Now with my mods I'm definitely happy with the auto. It surprises the hell out of most people! No regrets here!

i hope you guys all realize you are making excuses to yourself about why you bought the auto to try and make yourself feel better. "i'm too old, i'm too lazy, it's probably better for traffic anyways...." those are all B.S. lines you tell yourself to justify your decision. unless you are 100% into auto's, and have NO regrets EVER, you should've bought a manual. i'd consider trading an auto in on a manual if i had one.

Auto's are the greatest... If you have the money... Get paddle shifters... They are just as funas a stick but a lot easier to deal with... I have an auto and haven't done any mods to it but don't be angry at yourself... An auto was a good choice... I do get a LOT of CRAP for driving a "2005 Mustang GT AUTOMATIC!" but I just tell them I am just too coolm to drive a stick and walk away with them laughing on the floor.
