The 6 mt is not that bad when you learn how to drive it. Mine clunks more often than not but it's no big deal. From 2-6 gear I don't have any issues. It works great. The 6 mt will probably take more punishment than an at.

When I bought my base+sport package car last fall, I didn't really know that much about the differences in options. That said, I'm more than happy with my 6-speed manual. Like I've seen in other posts, if you give yourself some time to get the feel of the motor and such, you'll snicker each and every time you take the car out for a spin. The "sport" option with the manual makes it even more enjoyable.
Also, if I want to change the tranny oil out I can. Pretty sure the 7AT is one of the newer sealed units that uses the new "World" synthetic....
Good luck with whatever you wind up with..
