LJKS thought the NSX auto was good enough that he had one in his 'ideal garage' - along with a manual NSX*. What I take that to mean is that they are very different driving propositions. Manual for making the most of the chassis, auto for a more relaxed GT experience.

I like autos for day-to-day driving. But they do tend to frustrate me when they do that too-late-to-change-down thing on a corner or roundabout. Maybe the F-Matic lets you take care of that? So I agree about test-driving one to see if it appeals.
