I'm in the same boat as you OP. I never had an auto in a car. In trucks yes but not cars. I did try the A6 in the 2LT I had and I found it slow and clumsy. I hated it. The paddle shifts were useless and it seemed to take a long time to "figure out" what gear it should be in otherwise. Haven't tried the A8 yet. If there really is a fast shifting auto that's consistent and reliable I might give it a try.
