There are different degrees of automatic transmissions that use the "sportshift" technology. BMW's SMG-II gearbox is really impressive. Mercedes is even going to premier a 8-speed techtronic transmission. Even the Mazda 6s 5-speed automatic shifty thingy felt confident.

But if you want good launches, better driver control, and and more fun overall, get the damn manual. If you have to drive in bumper to bumper traffic daily, then maybe the sportshift tranny is for you.
