I hear the new one is a different trans but still, I think I'd try the manual. (Everyone else seems to like auto).
They all have there problems. So far mine had a couple of basic things go wrong.
Leak around the high stop light, and rocker cover wept a little oil.
Not too bad.

The current 6 speed auto it a lot faster then the manual and it much nicer i hate the electronic clutch cable give you no feeling. plus the Auto makes more power and it way better off road

I hate the fact when you put your foot down just a bit, it often changes up which makes you go faster but it's not really what you want. So you put your foot down some more it changes down then goes faster.
I don't like no engine braking. People tell me use it in tiptronic but it's still not the same.

I'll second that. Even the kids want to learn in a manual.

agreed, auto is damn awful, engine braking is fantastic if the trailer/caravan gets the wobbles
