I found that when I drove in LA (lots of traffic lights), and drove from NY to SF, having an automatic was really helpful. I drive a manual every day here in the UK, but when you have to stop/start (traffic, lights, etc), I wish I had an automatic. But then, I love driving around normally with a manual. It's not really something I think about when driving.
