The best thing you can say about almost anything automatic is that it will automatically do the wrong thing, sooner or later. It's just a matter of time before you will wish that you had a car with a manual transmission (push-start, anybody?), for one of a million different reasons.
The sad thing is that in today's society very few people even know how to drive a manual transmission. It sounds like you are one of them.
Newer does not always equal better.
