S4-test drive 6 speed Los Angeles

Loved the car, everything I could every want in a vehicle. Then tried to go to the Dodger game and got suck in L.A. Traffic. How do you guys keep your patience with the 6 speed. Bottom of the hill at Dodger stadium to the top was 15 min one inch at a time. Sitting in my a-6 4.2 auto was fine but I was seriously debating the 6 speed. Please advise
