I have an a4. I love the manual and all. I just hate driving a m6 in traffic. I had a 00 SS Camaro before M6 and it got great gas mileage and everything, but it was a hassle to do everyday!

I've had the A4 now for 3 years. I've thought about the MN6 about 3 times. In this traffic in Atlanta, the auto is the way to go. If it's mainly a weekend cruiser, get the MN6.

Go drive an MN6, then find somebody that has an Auto WITH a Torque Converter (since you ARE going to be modding) and you decide which you prefer!!!!
