Do you foresee any problem adapting to the automatic gearbox of a Verso Multidrive S?

Having owned a 2003 Toyota Verso Spirit for seven years, we are looking to sell it. We have had seven years of trouble-free motoring, therefore our intention is to buy a Toyota Verso TR 2010/2011 model 1.8 petrol, Multidrive S. Do you foresee any problems adapting to the automatic, having previously driven manuals? At present, secondhand ones seem hard to come by.

This car drives very sweetly indeed: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/toyota/toyota-vers.../. But I would learn to left-foot brake so you can drive it more smoothly, and certainly much more safely in confined areas, such as when parking. There's no problem left-foot braking these.
