A manual transmission works wonders. An auto is not as safe. (car doesnt slow down when you let up on the gas as much)

This is my first car with auto trans and antilock brakes. Not a good combination. The car doesnt slow down like a manual and you think the antilocks will stop the car in spite of that.

WRONG!

My advice is to forget you have antilock brakes and pump the brake pedal carefully as you normally would. That is exactly counter to the manufacturers advice (which is slam on the brakes for all they are worth)
