I think in 2008 they put the 5 speed auto as standard, so as for as auto's go thats the one you want, previously they were 4 speeds under most options.
I bought an 08 touring hatch with leather etc in may with 32k on it one owner for 13600.
The 5-speed Automatic Transmission replaced the 4-speed unit starting with the 2006 's' (2.3L) models. The 'i' retained the 4-speed A/T thru 2009. For 2010, the 4-speed was dropped and all versions have the 5-speed A/T.
