The v70 is ideally suited to being an auto. The down side is that if the auto goes wrong it is complex and expensive to fix - the upside is that if correctly looked after the box should be good for mega mileage.
Problems generally arise from neglect, seemingly caused by the total misunderstanding of the need to replace the atf as part of the later-life service routine. People seem to think the oil is some kind of magic potion that never needs changing , whereas it normally never needs doing during the normal service life of the vehicle which is entirely different to what people assumeit is.
I suspect your 'specialist' just doesn't know how to fix the autos so steers clear of them...but then manuals needs clutches, slaves and dmfs.
