Pleased to hear you’re enjoying your new car. I know a few people personally who have changed to automatic and I can’t think of any who said they didn’t like it. Pretty much all said they’d never go back to manual again.
I can only drive auto but even if I had the choice I’d still drive auto anyway. There’s a few cars from when I was young that came in manual only and I’d like to have a go in them but that’s the only reason I’d want a manual
