I've owned a few automatics, though they're a ways back in the past. Didn't regret or even think twice about getting any of them. Take that as a "no regrets" response - that might not have been expected.

What's happened since is irrelevant, other than we've still not regretted buying any of the cars we have or have had.

Like was said earlier, make your transmission choice based on your best reasons for you. If you don't choose out of habit, impatience, peer pressure, or some poll telling you what other people think you should have, you'll be far less likely to end up with regrets. Sorry to hear of a couple of folks who didn't see their own preference clearly enough to overcome the external influences.

You cannot judge the 5th gen Camaro's automatic from driving other cars with automatics. I have and they really are not comparable... I can understand those that had an automatic 5th gen Camaro that traded for a manual saying yes they regretted it but if you haven't owned a 5th gen Camaro automatic you don't really have a dog in this hunt...
