Wow, so I finally found a benefit to having an auto sonic! (Sarcasm). It's my first car, and my parents wanted an auto for my first car. Good to know for the future though.

Thanks preloader. I was also wondering what the benefits are.

Would you recommend the mounts on an auto Sonic? While I obviously won't feel the difference in shifting, I imagine throttle response and less vibrations will still be a big help.

You won’t feel the manual shifts as you have an auto, but the shifts your auto does will be more direct, as the engine won’t flop around and it will be more direct.

No. I have the auto 1.8 So, it works with both engines and trannys.

So I bought an upper and lower mount from another member. I finally installed them and had them installed for three weeks or about 1200 miles. I am sorry to say but, it's not my cup of tea. The vibrations are ridiculous. From about 1300-1900 my whole car vibrates and it sounds like something is going to fall off. Anything above 2500 RPMs the engine noise is so loud it gives me a headache. I have to turn my radio up to what I would consider too loud when standing still. Also at any speed/RPM my rear view mirror vibrates that badly that all I can use it for is to tell you there is an object behind me.
My daily commute is 27 miles each way in town, back roads and interstate. The mounts are just not my thing.
However, I do like how the power rolls on vs the stock mounts. Maybe I'll keep the TTR mounts for AutoX or maybe I'll sell them.

Assuming your in PA and it is below freezing right now? If so that’s most of the reason why right now. Wait until spring summer above freezing.
As stated you like the power rolls, that’s what they are for, not for just driving. If your performance based, you will want these. If you just daily drive and never get on your car, they are not for you.

Nope, if it doesn't help on racing/aftermarket automotive, we don't sell it
It is like going to the gas station and getting premium 93 premium octane fuel, with no tune or no need for it, you gain nothing more than an empty wallet.
Just a point of clarification I am not complaining about the mounts. I knew what the mounts are for when I bought them. I just had hopes that I could daily drive them and it be okay. (I also drive around my 15 month old son and I think they are loud for him) I plan on keeping them for AutoX or for when the Sonic becomes purely a "fun" car.
On another note I wish you did offer something that would be somewhere in between the stock and the TTR mounts I have.

They are only about 70A durameter, any softer and they would be sloppy and also softer poly breaks down and fails...
