Old Man's Car?

This week I sold the Golf Cabriolet I had been fixing up as well as the '07 Mercedes which was needing work. My guy had a Golf with a manual transmission I wanted to check out and, while I was at it, I also tried a Jetta Highline with the same drivetrain as my wife's Golf wagon, the 1.8 turbo mated to a 6 speed automatic. To my surprise, after driving both cars back to back over some interesting roads, I bought the Jetta. I had really anticipated bringing home the car with the manual transmission, but realized the automatic was better than I was. I also tell myself the Jetta has more room and will probably get a bit better mileage.
I guess my needs have overwhelmed my ego. Why not?
