I understand your point on the getting old of shiftin it around in every day traffic, but I bet that thing is quick compared to the autos, but if you want the auto just make sure you get a good one considering the tranny issues.

Go drive a Subaru or a Chevy or a Dodge or a VW and then make up your mind on how bad you think the clutch and transmission in this car is.
Honda makes some of the best drivetrains out there. CL-S6, TL, S2000, RSX-S. All very highly praised clutch/transmissions.

The later s2000 were better, the first ones did kind of suck.

I would consider a clutch swap if it bothers you enough. With the 6MT, you've got so much more reliability, LSD for handling, and less drivetrain loss.

My CLS is the best manual transmission I've every driven
I drive thru Providence, RI for my commute, so sometimes it takes 45-60 minutes for my 23 mile commute... driving a stick is a pain, but I'd never get rid of my 6spd because of it..
I did wish I has an automatic briefly back in 2004 when I busted up my ankle (severe sprain and ligament damage), but I was driving to work a week later and working the clutch pedal was good therapy
Some of you guys need to butch up a bit
