Personally I think the autos are a joke! I was in the same model and spec Volvo with the 12 speed ishift and now in a 13 speed eaton. They are the same year same engine same model just different transmission. The auto was a pain on slippery roads and muddy terrain. Could not control the clutch and when it shifted in the lower gears it spun or got stuck. Not to mention I'm getting better fuel economy with the manual at higher speed same rpm to mph.
